No they can not take Tamiflu
if they are on meds for other illness.

That's not strictly true? Some people have self-attacking immune systems that are more at risk of contracting influenza AND it being more potent. I'd have thought they'd be first in line to receive any anti-viral treatment, including Tamiflu.

Newcastle Uni student 6th person in UK to reportedly have it. Well ****.

No arista

you are In fear and denying the truth

this will get worse there is no doubt about it and it wil only spread the only reason those scottish people got better is because they were in isolation it's going to get to a stage were We can't control it we can't put everyone is isolation. 6 people will soon turn into 60 then 600 then 6000 then 6 Million

The nurse in our school gave a talk today and she said that people with weak immune systems would have to be ore cautious. I don't know about the anti-viral stuff.

Assumedly just to pigs and birds, haha. :\

I have been reading through this thread for the first time today.
Some people are so inconsiderate. I know that the media can make something look 100 times worse than it is, But if people are genuinely scared, no one can turn around and bitch... it's not fair.
The cynics just need to remember that it have been upped to a level 5, one more upped level and it will be a pandemic. it is very vey likely to be a pandemic and millions of people are scared. Grow some common decency....

Think how many people are unconfirmed?

If I felt ill, was coughing, feverish - I WOULD NOT go to the Drs or anything about having goddamn swine flu, I'd just keep it to myself. I assume a lot of people would also do this.

I'm never a fan of media panic, but we know the media get something out of causing panic. But the WHO? What do they get out of causing panic? Nothing. It's against them if they cause panic, yet they think there's something to be concerned about.

8 cases in the UK, we come into contact with about 100+ people per day, assuming we leave the house - walk down the street, work etc. That's per day, and that's only from the confirmed cases.

There's a lot more people than confirmed with it. The numbers aren't minimising, they're only just emerging.

Thanks Jen

Anyone know if people that have the flu vaccination each year are more protected? Or does it not help with this swine strain?

Mexico have had it since January! Our cases are only emerging. What about people with weak immune systems? Do they not matter to you?

The two people that got better got treated almost instantly after coming back from Mexico and are healthy young individuals. Right now there's people with it that don't know about it - not getting treated - and maybe not as healthy as the two Scots.
