I am in York, PA, USA and there is a lot of sickness around. 500 out of the 1600 students at my school were absent yesterday. I am curious if there is a lot of illness around where other people live. I know there is the whole H1N1 (swine flu) scare, but there is only one confirmed case in my case in my school and that is not what we are all sick of. So, are there is there sickness around anyone else?

Well, my whole family got what we believe was just a cold a few weeks ago. There is a lot of illness at my school too, including a little swine flu. I don't think I've ever had the flu though, seasonal or swine. As far as I know I've also only had one flu shot which was a few years ago. So, I don't really worry about it, although of course I could get it.

Maybe it is just cold season, although I have never seen it this bas before. I am out for my third day. My whole school is sick. I don't know how the same thing could be going across the ocean, but what do I know?

Ya it is pretty bad at my school too. There is a lot of students sick, but they keep coming to school which makes everyone else sick. Everyone has been sick over the past few weeks including me. I guess illness is developing on its own and then spreading, or it could be travellers are bringing it to places as well. There has been a few cases of swine flu but I don't know of any really recent ones. I've heard about a case in the next town over at my friend's school but I don't know of any other ones. There have probably been more though. There was one point a few weeks ago where the doctors thougt me and my friend Laurenne might have had swine flu. We went to different clinics but we both had the symptoms. It turns out that we didn't and we were happy about that, but not about being sick.
