Got quite a few cases here in South Africa. Weird i read somewhere that Rupert Grint, from Harry Potter, had cought it but recovered, havent heard of any other case where someone has fully recovered from it.
Nearly everyone that gets Swine flu fully recovers from it. Here in the UK there have been nearly ten thousand cases of swine flu and only 16 deaths (at least ten of those were people already had underlying health problems).
The press will only report the bad news which makes these things sound worse than they are. From what I have read Swine flu is no worse than normal flu.

Had to leave work on Wednesday cos of this and some other girl was sent home today.
Symptoms are mild though, just feel stuffy and got the gallops. Should be OK for Monday, hopefully.

I bet someone has had the cheek to call in sick at work saying they got swine flu but they have not.

There are 2 babies with it on the same ward as my daughter at north staffs city general in the PICU. Ones been there a while and the other came in last week. They've had to adapt their x ray room for one of the children as the ward only has one isolation room. Before going back to North Staffs 2 weeks ago. We were at Birmingham childrens hospital for 5 weeks and there were 5 on the same ward (109) with swine flu. They were also in the side rooms.

12 more confirmed admissions have come to north staffs today. All children. The PICU where we are is in between 4 wards and access has been blocked to parts of them and we are not to use the entrances to the wards. Got to go in and out the back entrance to get anywhere. Been speaking to one of the parents and they've been told their child is too far gone and Dr's are expecting the worst.

Myself and my youngest brother have been feeling a little under the weather past few days though nothing serious. We both have ear infections just hope it dont turn into something else. I work everyday with the general public and i could get it anytime
though its not something that worries me so much as i know help is there.
