How long after exposure to swine flu do symptoms take to generate?

First of all it doesn’t take 1-5 days.
It will hit you fast. Just like a normal flu.
Aches pains all over cough, sneezing lost of appetite.
I guess people didn’t read this right.

And they are aren’t positive those kids have the swine flu, Only 2 most likely out of 1,000 students might of had it in New York.
And everyone in America has recovered or is recovering.
People are only dieing in Mexico cause they have poor health care.
I’m sure you will be fine.
Hopfully this whole flu thing will pass by.
Just stay indoors just incase you have it. Get some tamiflu. Wash your hands often and cough into a paper towel.

Swine Flu vaccine is it safe? (UK)?

Does anyone have any info, or articles on the safety of the Swine Flu Vaccine here in the UK. WITHOUT the conspiracy theories. So far, It is known that the vaccine is being administered before the results of the trials are released.
It’s safe, I’m sure of that, I have friends who are GP’s and they’re confident with administering the vaccine. the only problem is that there’s now a strain of the vaccine which is resistant to tamiflu (the vaccine) so before too long it might not be any use.
There are always people who react to any vaccines, e.g. if they’re allergic to something in it, but there haven’t been any stories of people dying because of the vaccine, only because of the actual disease. Better to have it.

What is the difference between the average flu every flu season and swine flu?

What is the difference between the average flu every flu season and swine flu?

The name of the flu that people get every flu season is usually referred to as seasonal flu. Every year the viruses that are in the seasonal flu that goes around may differ, but most of those viruses we have been exposed to at some point. Swine flu is a strain of the flu that most of us have never been exposed to before. Because we have not been exposed to it before our bodies don’t have any immunity to it.

Also, there is some concern that the swine flu strain may mutate and become more deadly than it is. Right now most people that catch the swine flu are mildly sick. It is very contagious so what is most important is that you stay away from other people if you get sick. Over 2,000 university kids at just one school got sick in the first week of school. We could have a lot of sick people during flu season. Every year people die from the flu. More people die each year from the regular seasonal flu than have been dying from the swine flu. But for people with underlying health issues, swine flu has been difficult even in its current mild form.

After infection to swine flu, when do you become infectious to others?

The new swine flu virus apparently spreads just like regular flu and become airborne if infected person cough or sneeze without covering their nose and mouth, sending germs into the air. The virus is transmitted by saliva or droplets of sneezing from an infected person. You could pick up germs directly from an infected person, or by touching an object they recently touched, and then touching your eyes, mouth, or nose, delivering their germs for your own infection. Infected people can start spreading flu germs up to a day before symptoms start, and for up to seven days after getting sick, according to the CDC.

H1N1 Influenza Virus Pandemic Records

The first major infection on humans of the H1N1 influenza virus came in 1918 in what is now known as the Spanish Flu. This pandemic is one of the deadliest in history with deaths reaching up to a hundred million. This virus invaded the lungs which later trigger an overreaction of the immune system and causing death in the long run. Due to the circumstances at that time when the First World War was still going on, the Spanish Flu pandemic was largely unnoticed but the damages it caused is undeniable.
