Swine Flu Factoid

Factoid:

Most influenzas actually originate in birds, then the virus has to mutate to infect a mammal, and then evolve again to get from a mammal to a human. - Dr. Marilyn Roossink, virologist, Noble Foundation.

Swine Flu WHO

Just read all the symptoms for Swine Flu posted by the World Health Organization. Horrors! It's like reading a medical dictionary and discovering what you thought was a minor ailment may actually be some exotic, terminal illness. I've experienced every one of the swine flu symptoms over the past few weeks, and my shopping cart is full. Can I put something back, please? Thank goodness I'm beyond the 20-45 age bracket. If I have SF, there's a good chance I'll survive this! Hypochondria fed by the Internet ............
