The Swine Flu isn’t nearly as fun as the media makes it out to be. So far Dane and I have both had full on cases of it, Ty had a very light case of it, and T has been untouched. Usually, she’s the first one to get sick, and gets it the worst, and I’m barely touched by it. Luckily, we all seem to be past it now. Dane missed 2 days of school, Ty only missed one.
Other than feeling like crap, typical of any flu, there’s really nothing special about this one. Most seasonal flus are slight variations of the same flu strain, so you have a immunity of some sort if you’ve had it before, or have had the shot. H1N1 is a completely new strain, so no one has an immunity to it. That’s what makes it so contagious. It’s no more deadly than any other strain, just a new one that everyone has the potential to get.
Ah well, it’s all just a flu. I just hope no one molests a platypus next year and starts another new strain.
