I think this whole swine flu issue is really overblown. Healthy people are always getting sick and B’H they recover. Really those who should be concerned are people with underlying health issues. Trust me, I should be concerned because, my husband has underlying health issues but I am not panicking. I was just at the doctor today with my kids and I asked him about how do they confirm the swine flu and he said there is no exact test for the swine flu, they test for other forms of flu.

So basically, I feel that the numbers for the for swine flu are really higher then what health officals are telling us because not everyone is seeing a doctor and not everyone. The 4 people in New York who died all had underlying health issues.

My school is requiring anyone who even so much as skips a day of school to bring a doctors note on Sunday that they are healthy. I find that ridiculos. In that cause, ALL students should be required to bring in a doctors note that they are healthy.
