MY SON HAS SWINE FLU...
- Thread starter YOUNGNUTT
- Start date
Ive heard the same thing, but i dont fully buy into it. Those studies are WITH chemo. If they want the correct results, they would have to do study with people ONLY "being positive" and no chemo or treatment.
Ive also seen the study on group prayer as well.
Bottom line, you can be happy as fuck, but without chemo...your ass is dead and it will be painful.

I didn't say it can't affect old people, I said it doesn't like the seasonal flu does. The target age group with the most problems is like 2-24 or some shit. Usually people that die from it have an underlying condition though, and that's some shit they JUST started saying on the news not too long ago.
They say older people may have some immunity to H1N1 because they may have been exposed to it before. It hasn't been around since the 70's though, so anybody born in the 80's and after are more susceptible.

It's because the old folks are less likely to catch it.
"People 65 Years and Older and 2009 H1N1 Flu
The new 2009 H1N1 virus does not seem to be affecting people 65 years and older in the same way that seasonal flu usually does. Most people who have gotten sick from this new virus have been younger. In fact, people 65 and older are the group that is least likely to get infected with this new virus. There have been relatively few infections and even fewer cases of serious illness and death with this new virus in people older than 65. Laboratory tests on blood samples indicate that older people likely have some pre-existing immunity to the 2009 H1N1 flu virus. But while people 65 and older are the least likely to be infected with 2009 H1N1 flu, those that do become infected are at greater risk of having serious complications from their illness."

Right on. However, if you read my post, it had nothing to do with the likeliness of catching anything. I said that unless you are between the ages of 8 and 80, you should not worry about DYING from it, not CONTRACTING it.
Anyone over the age of 65-70 has a higher risk of DYING from very common illnesses that a healthy 25 year old would catch and recover from. Its the main reason senior citizens get FREE flu shots every year, along with infants and those under the age of 10. The immune system is still developing through the second early childhood and deteriorates slowly as we die.

i had to take my kid to the dr back in may because he had a fever of 100+ and was just feeling crappy all day. we asked if it was the swine and the dr reassured us it wasnt. that onlypeople who die are real small children and 60+yr olds with preexisting conditions. and in AZ only old folx were dropping back earlier this year. so i dont think they justy being saying if u have an underling condition it will kill you. its been happing since the who panic of it came out this year.
