Concerns About Swine Flu

I suppose my life just mirrors what is happening around the world. However, at present 3 people that I am close to are on antibiotics because of Swine Flu. One of the people got swine flu in London and brought it home to his girlfriend. Both are now on antibiotics which they are supplementing with multidolphilus 12 hours apart from their antibiotic doses in order to keep their immune systems strong and to keep their intestinal bacteria moving toward health and strength as quickly as possible to avoid a bought with Pneumonia which is what tends to kill some Swine Flu victims.

Another friend of mine is about 50 years old and an elder caregiver. When he got swine flu he also got pneumonia and is still on antibiotics and doing the same thing as the couple I spoke about above. It appears Swine flu once people have it is something they seem to deal with for about 1 month or so. It is very depleting and especially among young people who still feel fairly immortal, a danger. Older people have usually come close to death one or more times and tend to be more careful. But without vigilance and early doctor care and either antibiotics or Tamiflu it could quickly in some cases become fatal. I greatly worry about people in the southern Hemisphere with it without medical care now and for people in the northern hemisphere without good medical care in the fall and winter and early spring.
