I heard a medical report this morning telling people not to take this as lightly as many seem to be. For some reason, kids are more seriously impacted by this than regular flu.

@anncummings my oldest had it last week, I knew it was H1N1 the moment he laid there with fever and body aches - and you are absolutely correct

I hope he's okay by now, Ines. The things I've read about how it impacts kids are scary.....

@anncummings he's doing great actually and it wasn't that bad at all - he was down one day and took him to the doc who prescribed TamiFlu (even back in school)

Hi, here in europe it is also a actually theme - but here are a lot of people (doctors also) are saying, that this flu is not that bad as the most other gripal-virus-infects and it also take not that much time to be ok again. The best care about it is jaust healthy food and a good hygiene by wahing hands more times. I also tnink, that there is a big, big lobby behind the "panic" selling medicaments and pushing the pharma-index in this bad time of economy - like a few years before at the bird-flu (?).
Good health to your child and best wishes from germany ;0)

thank you Tom - my son is done with it and we did not treat the rest of the family unnecessarily either - great to get a perspective from another part of the world.

My little nephew is just getting over a bout with H1N1 (under 2 months). Was really worried since that is the worse demographic to catch it but he is pulling through just fine. H1N1 has to be the sneakiest flu ever. Just pops up with no warning it seems.

@mtony71 wow! 2 months, that has to have been scary - tons of health going your way and your nephew's

Thanks. He is in another state but need it for my two sons. Especially with the oldest in pre-k now.
