I have to admit I was rather cynical about swine flu but now I'm of the frame of mind its probably best to get it now as its coming in waves and the more who get it, the more severe it will be. The way I see it, get it now and build up immunity if you are fit and healthy - but i must stress this is my opinion and not that of the NHS  |
This Flu is already acting differently than expected with its spread increasing into the better weather where they thought it would have peaked and who knows how long it willbe or if the virus will mutate in such a way as to render antivirals useless. I do tend to agree it may well be better to catch it now
