Swine flu
I had a curious conversation with the doctor yesterday. I asked if what I have is swine flu. He said he doesn't know. I asked "aren't you going to test me?" He said "No, the Ministry of Health issued a directive not to test people who aren't in high risk categories." I said, "you know, come to think of it, I hadn't heard how many cases we have recently." He said, "actually Arutz Sheva said there were x [I don't recall the number. CiJ] new cases today, but it's meaningless."So why bother to release a number at all? Probably to get people like me - who don't need a doctor's note to stay home from work - to go to the doctor (when I came back from the States in May I caught a cold and also went to the doctor thinking it was swine flu). We have to keep people busy....
By the way, did anyone find this kid's parent's yet?

Carl,
It does not matter if your flu virus belongs to viral strain A (swine type) or another one AS LONG AS YOUR CLINICAL STATUS IS GOOD!
That means mainly no respiratory problems.
I hope the picture of the kissing pig kid is a photoshop hoax but I am not sure...
I wish you again a speedy and full recovery,

Carl, unless its polio or something similar and you're in in good health, a viral infection isn't life-threatening. You can't cure it so you have to wait it out to gain immunity to that particular virus.
In the meantime, prayers to Hashem on a swift and full recovery!
