I'd like to repost a comment someone else made:

If you have symptoms you should get checked out because here is the thing- if you do have it you might not die, but you will spread that to somebody who might.

End of story.

Pretty sure anyone who went to PAX wouldn't be going and willingly infecting people.
No need for that kinda talk...

Just go to the doctor if you're sick.
I am; I'm bequeathing all my stuff to Shankill if I die.
Except my germs. Those I will mail to Teefs.

I don't know who would be better off in the case of your death, neville. Both of them would get such wonderful treasures.

I stayed disease-free by marinating in the sterilizing agent known as rum all weekend!

Woohoo, swine money in the bank

Make sure that stuff is sterilized before you send it my way, though, I don't want to catch the gay

Yeah the swine flu is relatively mild and lasts only a few days. Thousands of kids at WSU have been infected and are recovering in 1-3 days. There have also been cases at UW.

The problem with swine flu is that being a new strain seems to be a more efficient contagion than the more typical strain of influenza.

Obviously those with kids need to be careful as do the elderly as less developed immune symptoms and compromised ones seem to have far more severe symptoms.

I dont know many of us who dont feel like we have it -
aches:Check
headache:Check
Fatigue:Check

Sadly, all those I can also blame on a 12 hour car drive, combined with being at PAX for 3 days

Hope noone else actually gets it!

I went to PAX with 8 people. Five of them are either really sick with flu symptoms or starting to get sick. I think this was a planned conspiracy by the government to kill off the geeky nerds.

I feel like complete crap. Throbbing headaches all night. Chills. Fever. Coughing. But... damn, PAX was so worth it!

No puking/nasty poops yet. Anyone had those symptoms?

Though I'm sure PA already has... I contacted the Grand Hyatt and that Starbucks attached to it and let them know. If anyone thinks of any other businesses that were heavilly attended during the weekend by PAX'ers, shoot them an e-mail or phone call if you find time. If you weren't staying at the Grand Hyatt, maybe contact your hotel.
