Don't take the H1N1 flu virus lightly

no, what nef is saying that making yourself a boy in a bubble will hurt you. I'm off to the gym.

I beat my dick against trees and howl at the moon, will that have any lasting affect on me.

Oh Ok, well I certainly agree with that when we are talking about everday germs and bacteria. But as others have said, in 1918 people lived in less sanitary conditions than today. So they would have been exposed to many more germs and virus' than we are, so they should have had very strong immune systems. Yet they still couldn't handle the Spanish flu.
Because that strain was a new strain that hadn't been seen before, same with this new H1N1 strain.

I'm not saying this one will be as bad as the 1918 pandemic, in fact I highly doubt it will, simply because we are better prepared. But it still has the potential to be bad.

Do you have any science to back up this theory? Not saying you're wrong, but I would think that the opposite would be true. I would think that someone "knowing" that there is a possible viral threat, that would signal the body and immune system to be ready and more prepared.

The more you expose yourself to, the more your body learns and self immunizes. Stress also reduces immune response. you can just google "stress" and "immune system" to see plenty of links on that. but here's one offhand:

My mother was an infectious disease control specialist earlier in her life and head of her department at the hospital. I get my information from good sources.

Actually I've been doing some research on virus's and historical facts.

Its the people that have this lax attitude towards it will be the first to blame the "government" for not doing enough when the shit hits the fan

lol at some of these smartass replies
those that don't know their history are doomed to repeat it.
