My wife has been treated for depression, bipolar, you name it since she was bitten by something in Alabama in 2003. She was tested for tick bite 2 weeks later no meds worked, neg. so they stop antibio early. now she’s back to start. No one knows . I believe most people been treated for depression/bipolar are suffering from dracular diasease ( bitten by a blood sucking bug). Think about how many are bitten. This is a larger problem than flu. Why isn’t more research done. I read 30 million people take meds depression/bipolar. All have the same symptoms, start out feeling strange then pain,fever,sleepness,anigity, heavy fast heart beats and ect. Something needs to be done

A key to understanding our anxiety, is that this strain of influenza is one that we have no immunity against thus far. Also, the fact that it is composed of avian,human & swine strains is unnerving, to put it mildly . To allay the fears of people, reason should take priority over a ratings” share” battle.The basics should be gone over i.e THOROUGH hand washing, if running a high fever- quarantine yourself from senior or very young members of the family or coworkers for that matter.For obvious reasons ,management could reasonably & legally , require a MD.s diagnosis of any employee calling in sick .Our elected officials and media have to act responsibly now to be considered credible in the future.

We all have to pay more attention to our health.Especially with the flu going around. If you live somewhere that the flu has spread to you need to take the proper precautions to assure that you are not infected as well. If you have any symptoms, even a small cold, you should not leave your home. You may be infected already and if you are not, your low immune system is not able to handle anymore stress. health remedies

One more disease to add to your list of those that are causes of illness/death. . . obesity. Last week in the U.S. there was 1 death from swine flu and 5,769 deaths from obesity.

Excellent write. The whole pandemic thing is just a smokescreen to take peoples’ attention away from real issues, like the financial chaos at the moment. 35 000 or more people day of ordinary influenza every day in America and thousands (no proper records kept) of people die of Aids and Malaria every day in Africa! Remember SARS, another pandemic that whimpered out! Someone controls these things for a reason. I would like to know the reason. Anyway, don’t worry readers, you are more likely to be killed in your bath, or crossing the road, so relax. Stess kills!

I think most people who dealt with the Y2K scare and the very real picking up the pieces after 911 tend to be better informed and more critical thinkers overall. Of course we feel a little battle worn with this changing economy. Of course we are aware we can be blindsided by the unknown. But in the end I see more and more people say “you know what? I handled that and I can handle this too” about so many things. Maybe I’m in a different place, but I see less anxiety and depression and more self responsibility than I used to.
