Re: (Harmful) Swine Flu Parties again - why NOT to do it
gsgs,
Sorry, but this became realy a pure theoretical debate in a moment when we have all be pushed in an environment of young sensitive pupils roaming with the illness through the streets, apart the schools.
Could we made few logical grassroot suggestions for that situation?
It is pretty reasonable (thrown the rat/.../ studies), that it will make no more good to us if we sucked great quantities of virus splashings, but it heavily augment our PROBABILITIES to catch it if we are not the totaly immune person (and in a new pandemic, such are a minority).
So, apart the viral load in the body diatribe:
1. we must try to evade exposures.
Next, about the flu parties, which is the main point of this thread name:
2. Don't do it, wait the vaccines, don't listen the actual metro-legends, or the "schools-opens" spins.
As many specs said, and many here (Laidb. Al resumes it well also), don't make flu parties,
because you will got no good.
The virus will stay for a half of year, or maybe more, the immunity last short (looking the seasonal vacc. immunity duration).
Flu viruses changes, so the previous immunity would not be efective, not match.
This virus seems in some to remain in the body, especialy if treated antiviraly, and relapses could be possible from the same first exposition.
Having the illness weakened the body, so it ismore prone to another infection
Most important: people of all ages died from this virus. forgot the percents - for the individual who died, it means that for him the CFR percent is 100%.
No one could know in advance who could be terminated this way.
3. vaccines will be made in few months, similar to the yearly seasonal one - spare yourself if possible, and be vaccinated if at risk
4. it is not the same thing for your future life quality if you do anything you can to avoid it and got it, than when you intentionaly risk and got it - because than your decision will be the reason of your possible future damage.
