It's good that MUSC is spreading the word on what can be done to treat patients with H1N1 because the truth is very little information is being given in general.

Is it *that* serious? I've had people I know getting cured in a few days, saying it was similar to the common flu.

What do you think?

I think it depends on your age and health prior to getting it, the media and the govt are scaremongering. Someone is going to get very rich from the vaccinations, that's to be remembered.

Unforunately the information on the flu has been so contradictory it's hard to know what to believe.

Dear All,
Thank you for your concern. MUSC is actively participating in community awareness concerning H1N1 Swine Origin Influenza. Our perinatal service team will be working hard this fall to educate, vaccinate, and treat patients.
All pregnant women should be vaccinated for seasonal flu and this year H1N1 vaccine may be available as well.
According to the CDC, treatment and prophylaxis for H1N1 swine origin Influenza is currently Tamiflu and the alternative drug is Relenza. These treatments are safe and recommended in pregnant women infected with H1N1.
Our department is dedicated to helping the community in regards to treatment and prevention of the flu.

It's hitting the cruise industry really hard. They are trying to avoid it spread on the ships by screening the passengers before they board. MSC cruise have installed infrared cameras onboard to find cruise guests with higher than normal body temperature.

While I can see there is a problem which has potential to become more of a problem. Is it that different from any of the millions of other diseases out there? Can't help but think its been a lot of hot air. I do feel there is need to be very carefully with the high risk folks but this is always the way.

I'm concerned about the next wave of H1N1. The infection rate seems to have slowed - or more cynically, perhaps the media have bigger fish to fry at the moment? - but come Winter I do wonder whether if we'll see another wave of the virus sweep across the world. I just hope that if it does revisit us, it's not in a form that is mutated and impervious to the current stocks of Tamiflu et al that we hold.

It's just like common flu - you can die if you don't get a proper treatment. Still, swine flu can be more aggressive than the regular flu, so you'd better get to the nearest hospital, forget about searching the best doctors.

I don't think its slowing down anytime soon. I think the media is purposely keeping us in the dark to how widespread h1n1 really is.
