I still haven't gotten it, my 9 year old has a mild case, mild enough that she could go back to school with keeping her cough under control. She's had it since Friday. She never had the fever just every other symptom. My 2 year old has had it the longest and had a fever of 102 along with the other symptoms. She's somewhere in the middle to the end of it and we are watching her for pneumonia. So far so good. My husband with the exception of the fever as had all the symptoms and his doctor put him on Tamiflu. I know I called around because I wanted my girls and my husband tested, but all of the Urgent Cares and ERs up here are out of the test kits, I called the pediatrician and GP for my husband and ruled out everything else. I have to wait 28 days until the last person in my house gets over it before we can say I'm in the clear. This crap has a 18 day incubation period so you all know I'm washing my hands over and over and over especially when dealing with my 2 year old.

We all had are regular seasonal flu shot. I'm not sure if I will even need this particular flu shot now and my 2 girls nor my husband will.
Sarge, I don't know how old you are, but my husband is 56 and he got the flu.

My oldest son called today from Atlanta to say he likley has it according to his doctor. He also says it isn't as bad as the seasonal flu he had a couple of years ago. Fever is under control and the worst is the headaches.

My 9 year old has a friend who has this who has the high fever and she has the pneumonia. She has a bad case of this flu and we are all praying for the little girl.

Governor of NY has just declared a State of Emergency because of the flu. All this means is we are supposed to get more vaccines in and more healthcare professionals including dentists will be allowed to administer the vaccine with minimal training.

Pharmacists Use Old Methods to Solve Liquid Tamiflu Shortage
By: Chris Hrapsky
Oct 30, 2009

The H1N1 virus vaccine isn't the only thing hard to find. The only drug used to treat children with the virus has run out in most pharmacies.

"In talking to our source of supply, this is affecting every pharmacy across the country," Shopko chief operating officer Mike Bettiga said.

Tamiflu is the only drug effective at treating the H1N1 virus. It's given to children in liquid form.

But the recent H1N1 outbreak among children is causing pharmacies to run out. Now pharmacies are having to mix their own to keep up with the demand.

Most prescriptions these days are filled by a robot, but pharmacists are having to use old tactics to keep up with new demand for liquid Tamiflu.

"It's been a little crazy. It's been very busy," Bettiga said.

'60 Minutes':
An inside look at H1N1 vaccine production

By: CBS Interactive Staff
November 2, 2009

On Friday, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said the H1N1 virus is widespread in 48 states.

Last weekend, the president declared a national emergency.

A new vaccine is supposed to save the country from the worst-case scenario. But that vaccine isn't coming as fast as expected and there's lots of skepticism.

. Should you get it?

.. Can you get it?

... Is it safe?

To find some answers, 60 Minutes correspondent Scott Pelley went inside the federal government's $3 billion H1N1 vaccine project.

This is the first time the public has seen where and how the vaccine is made.

It's true that for 99 percent of the people who get H1N1, it is just the flu ..
A few miserable days at home.

But health officials warn that those who don't get vaccinated take a chance they'll end up like 15-year-old Luke Duvall, who we met in our first report on the virus two weeks ago ...

H1N1 shots now available in Augusta area

After a frustrating wait for those seeking a shot against the novel influenza A H1N1 virus, some injectable vaccine is finally becoming available in the Augusta area.

The clinics are only for those in the priority group: pregnant women; those 6 months to 24 years old; adults ages 25 to 64 with underlying health conditions that put them at greater risk of complications from flu, such as asthma and diabetes; health care workers; and caregivers of those younger than 6 months.

A lot of those people standing in line are not in the priority group.

Can Your Doctor Spot H1N1?
By: Caleb Hellerman

Trinity Olivares, 5, had cramps, diarrhea and vomiting,
.. but never had a fever before she died of H1N1.

Experts estimate 10-30 percent of H1N1 patients don't have fever.
. H1N1 is more likely to cause gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea and vomiting.

It was early on a Monday, just the seventh week of school, when Danelle Olivares decided she would have to keep her 5-year-old daughter home from kindergarten.

Trinity had a nasty stomach bug, but no fever, and Olivares figured that a day of rest at home would make things OK.

But the morning brought no relief. Trinity was cramping, having bouts of diarrhea and vomiting.

She was so pale that by late afternoon, Danelle and her husband, Michael, brought their little girl to the emergency room.

She asked for water. Her legs hurt.

Three hours later, she was dead.

Stunned as they were, the Olivareses got another shock when doctors came back with test results: Trinity had fallen victim to the H1N1 flu.

"It really blew me away," Danelle Olivares of Rio Rancho, New Mexico, told a local television station. "She never even ran a fever."

The World Health Organization and U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention each list fever as a defining feature of H1N1.

But that's being called into question, most recently in the medical journal the Lancet.

This week, physicians in Queensland, Australia, wrote that 36 of the 106 patients admitted to Gold Coast Hospital with confirmed H1N1 infections actually had no fever.

I never get the flu shot. I never get the flu. I think the shot is what does it. Reed the insert and decide if you still want the shot.
