Found this post just now.
My health teacher at college just came back from Memphis a week and a half ago. She said they are reporting 6000 new cases daily. However, due to the high cost of the test ($300) and 46% are showing a false/negative result, the officials are now saying that if you are running a fever, to stay home and that until the fever has been gone for 48 hours, you are not safe to be around others. They say if you think you have the flu, it is most likely the H1N1 because the other regular flu season has not yet started.
Well guess what? The teacher got it soon as she came home, has been out for the 1 1/2 weeks now, running 102 degree fever the whole time, fever free since this past Sunday, came to school today, left 4 hours later running a 100 fever. She lost 11 pounds, was not thinking or speaking clearly either here at school. If that is not bad enough, she said this pandemic stuff comes in three phrases: phase one was this past April, phase two is now, and phase three will come in January. Each phase gets worse.
If you know of anyone that is pregnant, they need to get a vaccine. Small childen should too.
Lots of rest and hot fluids. This is a time to baby yourself and to take your time healing.


Sorry you are so miserable. Please 'feel' our hugs and know we are thinking of you.
