Fraser Health says an outbreak of H1N1 flu has sent over a dozen people into intensive care in Lower Mainland hospitals. Officials say that H1N1 flu vaccines are effective but previous vaccinations against H1N1, which many people sought in 2009, may not help anymore due to mutations in the virus.

Take it from a stubborn guy like me who thinks he's healthy and never gets sick.
Get your yearly flu shot. What ever it takes to increase ur chances against the flu.

Im recovering from this H1N1...but god dayum was I ever hurting this week. Missed work and was bed ridden for a couple of days. Couldnt even muster the energy to get up and drink water. It was that bad.

Gonna take 1 week for this virus to run its course on my body. From now on I aint messing around with the flu.

I had spinal meningitis when I was 8. That shit sucks ... Was in the hospital for a month (didn't help that I had an allergic reaction to the medication, which probably kept me in there a week or two longer than I otherwise would've been there for).

On topic, no flu shots for me, allergic to the vaccine :(

[Verdasco]

Like the nuclear thread and the real estate thread, most people will end up with average between worse scenario and best case scenario.

Unless you are immunologically compromised and malnourished, if you contract the flu (there are a variety), you will feel like you are better off dead, but you won't die. Flu shots will plenty of time for the body to learn to create antibodies will likely minimize the symptoms.

Wash your hand often, eat plenty of fruits and veg and spend plenty of time in the sun because UV kills bug in general and carry on.

H1N1/ FLU symptoms


Temperature
Feeling feverish or having a fever of 100°F or higher can be an indicator for the flu or H1N1 virus, though not everyone with the flu will get a fever. Fevers are unlikely with a common cold.

Body Aches
Feeling achy all over or getting a headache is another symptom of the flu or H1N1, and not generally associated with getting a cold. This tends to show as more general aches, as opposed to those confined to one area.

Nausea, Vomiting Or Diarrhea
Nausea is the most symptom of the flu, and less likely to occur with a cold. However, if you're vomiting continuously, this can indicate a more severe strain of the flu, and you should seek medical help.

Sore Throat
A sore throat is usually the first indicator of the beginning of illness, whether it's a cold, the flu or worse.

Cough
Coughing occurs when one has a cold or the flu, though if it worsens, that can indicate a more severe strain, like H1N1.

Fatigue
An intense feeling of exhaustion, like not being able to get out of bed, is a sign that you have the flu or H1N1. This does not usually occur with a cold.

Chills
Chills can occur as a result of many kinds of bacterial and viral illnesses, including colds, the flu and H1N1.

Runny Nose
Though a runny nose is most closely associated with a cold, it can also be part of having the flu or H1N1. Be sure to have plenty of tissues on hand to keep germs from spreading.

Dizziness
Dizziness is not a normal symptom for a cold or flu, and should be treated with seriousness.

Dehydration
Dehydration is a serious risk when you're ill, either because you feel too sick to drink or eat, or you've been vomiting and/or having diarrhea. Being dehydrated can indicate H1N1, and you should seek medical attention.

Pain In Stomach Or Chest
Feeling pains in your stomach or chest while or immediately after you have the flu can indicate a serious complication, like pneumonia. Seek medical help immediately.

Discoloured Lips
Discoloured lips can indicate a lung infection, which poses a serious health risk. Be sure to seek medical attention immediately.

Fatal case of H5N1 bird flu reported in Canada
News1130 by The Canadian Press / 1h

EDMONTON (NEWS1130) – A woman from Alberta is the first confirmed fatal case of the bird flu in North America.

Health Minister Rona Ambrose says the case, which was located in Alberta, was an isolated one and that the risk to the general public is very low.

There are reports the woman was on a plane from Beijing to Vancouver and then Vancouver to Edmonton.

She died in hospital.

Doctors don’t know who she contracted the virus but say there is no evidence of person to person transmission.

The World Health Organization says that as of mid-December, there had been 648 laboratory-confirmed human cases of H5N1 flu, reported from 15 countries.
