Nobody knows. The problem is that normal flu also kills people and, for the most part, there’s no great investigation into how they were before.
Obviously most of those who die are weak in some way whether that be through being old or sick or having some medical condition that weakens them. The difference with swine flu is that each case is investigated and usually overall details are published too. That doesn’t happen with normal flu deaths: at best you get the overall numbers at the end of the year.
So, despite all the publicity, nobody actually knows if we should be worried about the number of healthy people dying from swine flu as it could well be that just as many (perhaps many more actually) die from normal flu.

It’s nice to have choice, but when the choice is too wide it’s a bit of a problem, isn’t it?
That’s the case with acne treatments with row upon row of seemingly identical treatments on offer in the pharmacies. Enter acne treatments reviews at this point. If only there weren’t so many review sites around it would be a simple matter. Sometimes it seems like what’s really needed is a review of the review sites!

You’d never think of prescribing medication for yourself, would you?
What about when you do something like buy Fenphedra though? It’s drug after all. That it doesn’t require a prescription doesn’t change that. After all, you’re planning on taking it to cause a medical change in your body, aren’t you?
It’s not so much that nobody should self-prescribe but it makes the point that you are taking medication and should at least read the leaflet on side-effects before just downing a whole heap of pills.
