Swine flu - i hear there is a case of swine flu in pta. my family and i have been suffering from typical flu symptoms for the past week. when should we be concerned about it being swine flu?

Flu is flu: Flu is a variable illness that most healthy people tolerate & self heal without problems including that strain. You can reduce symptoms/intensity if you start an anti-viral like tamiflu within the first 48-72 hrs, but less so if started later. In general I find it has been less intense than some strains. Consult your doc if the process has you worried.
