I don't think so busa, hep B stays with a person

doesn't it?

I know hep C is the ugly one

actually I don't know anything about what I am talking about LOL

Isn't that what oinkFlu does??

just makes you really sick if the immune system doesn't know how to kill it

I think

I think being sick makes a person more susceptable to all other types of sickness, too--it weakens them.

Keep a close track of those kids,

Big Chief-

I'm trying...so far my daughter is doing well. I'm glad I let her stay home on Monday and today too. She didn't sleep much last night either.

My parents are our greatest blessing. I have to work tomorrow, so my son just went to stay with them tonight. Please keep my folks in prayer too. They are strong and healthy and say "ha!" to any expression of concern for their welfare but I feel better knowing people pray for them too.

thanks, big chief

Man, you guys are so awesome!

Someday, the world will realize this.

of course

we know

the world is a little s l o w

sometimes, chief;)

now I have a question about swine flu

I realize that we don't want everyone getting it en mass, but how does it help Mexico to shut everything down if the virus will still be out there when everybody goes back to business as usual...or is it a stall game until a vaccine is created (approx. 6 months from what I read)?

If you can eliminate all the human infections and cull all the piggies that have the virus, you can eliminate the outbreak. The virus won't go away completely, but you can get rid of this strain that is transmissible person-to-person (hopefully). It won't take 6 months to get rid of this strain of swine flu, and they will mix in this swine flu strain into next year's batch of flu vaccine (if it can be done).

What people are really worried about is if a pig (or now, a human) catches this form of swine influenza at the same time as H5N1 bird influenza.

thank you, Drafter
