Every day more cases are reported and after reading my local newspaper online today, it confirmed that 4 secondary schools in
Pupils from Ripley's
A spokesman for Heanor Gate Science college says:
“This was a very minor incident. A letter has gone out to all students about the incident and what the Derbyshire Primary care Trust is saying. All parents should have received a letter on Monday. There was no need to keep anybody off school, it was a very mild case, there was no need to close the school or vaccinate any of the pupils.”
A spokesman for Alfreton grange
“The pupil's doctor says he has only mild symptoms and that in his professional opinion there is no need for any special or emergency measures to be taken. The pupil is being treated as though he has 'ordinary' flu. We have spoken to the pupil's doctor and the news is that the pupil is 'on the road to recovery.”
The pupils should recover quickly because they are young, fit and healthy. But what of those they come into contact with daily, those not fit and healthy? One thing is for sure, it is no good putting someone into isolation once they have the symptoms. The damage has already been done.
New health guidelines now state that anyone with symptoms should still go to school or work, thus spreading the virus even more.
No longer will blood testing be carried out. It is to be assumed that anyone with flu like symptoms has swine flu and is to be treated accordingly. There are two options; antibiotics like Tamiflu, or ride it out. Personally I will try and ride it out as antibiotics, if used early enough, will make the flu last just one day less than if you hadn’t taken them.Of course if you have underlying conditions then you should choose the antibiotic route.
At the moment they are not sure of the length of incubation. They think probably up to seven days but suggest that between two and five days is more likely.
Next I wanted to try out the online swine flu symptom checker. It timed out over and over again. My only assumption being that the site is very busy.
I know a lot of people will be worried by the spread of this virus, but we should try and remember this. Scare tactics are used every year when it comes to the flu season. Treat it as just another scare, but if in doubt, make sure you contact your doctor.

I think that it is just ordinary flu. It seems to me that the global elite have got a team of dodgy biochemists fervently working to perfect a deadly virus to wipe out two thirds of the world's population and that 'bird flu' and 'swine flu' are just trial runs.
the thing is, if they did manage to achieve their aims they would die also.
well we all know what happened to Oppenheimer, he died of radiation poisoning!
Just having a rant LOL.
