flu is flu
that is not more deadly than any other

Depends on the flu.
The spanish one was particularly lethal, more so than any other flu.

h1n1

I don't get it how you believe in that crap..

Another American invension just to spread newspapers and media exagerations, along with an abuse of medicine world comercialization. One medicine, that is, that was just created to cure a regular flu.

It's easier to kill people with fear of a decease then with the decease it self.

And I presume you also had a secondary, bacterial infection afterwars. That's the inconsistency with what H1N1 is.

bronchitis maybe?

i am sure that they didn't die from it, but from something they already had and got complications

The point is, the reported H1N1 strains in Europe do not match up to your description. I had the dubious pleasure of being on the firefront, when the first wave came across the atlantic (hundreds affected). The flu had very strong primary symptoms, but usually no secondary infection followed, which tells me that the virus didn't attack the immune system as flu usually does. Comes quickly, leaves quickly and quietly. Very unusual development for a retro-class virus.

actually they did, they were on respiratory machines, but it just took over them and their bodies just shut down, now only thing, h1n1 kills older people, sick(with low immunity), and sometimes pregnant women, while younger and middle aged persons are quite safe

well dunno, i was examined by epidemiologist and he said that it's possible that i had h1n1, but some mild one... really dunno, i am just glad it's over... but my ass got raped from all injections, i drank 4 different types of medicine, gallons of tea and vitamin c

gallons of tea and vitamin c

That doesn't sound incredibly terrifying.

And you just said it.

"h1n1"(aka: flu), only kills fragile people. People with weak immunity defence, regular people are afected too, but, just like any other flu, doesn't do them anything. ^_^

Not terrifying at all...I have to take medicine too every day for difrent reasons, and tea and vitamin C sounds just ok. ^_^
About being ass-raped, by injections, why don't you get them in your arm? I never had them from behind...^^'

[Zeri0n]

well they give them to ass since those are intramuscular injections, in arm are given intradermal and subdermal injections (like vakcines)...


@Bastardo actually,it is horrible, i haven't drank pepsi twist for a week now

Depends on the H1N1, afaik.
Spanish Flu is H1N1 and it killed mostly healthy people with good immunity (10-20% case fatality rate, I think it was).
The older/sick/etc. were actually less at risk than the healthy.

On the other hand, that novel little flu we had in 2009 was also H1N1 (and little more than a nuisance).

[Tratos]

Like I said, H1N1 does not compromise the immune system. On the other hand, I don't know how it works. When I got hit in the first wave, it started really quickly and kept me at 41C for a couple of days, like half a degree from lethal. Then, it just went away - no bacterial or anything. Of course, I had one of the more boring versions - the other guys had all sort of stuff happening to them. No secondaries though.
