MERGED: Swine flu (A H1N1 Virus)

yep, pero naa man sad ni: However, some studies of treatment of seasonal influenza have indicated benefit, including reductions in mortality or duration of hospitalization even for patients whose treatment was started more than 48 hours after illness onset.... so bisan after 48hrs pwd pa, naa man ngadto sa imo reply nga waste of money na after 48hrs or 2 days after..

The way 'neuraminidase inhibitors' work, they inhibit dispersion/proliferation/multiplication of viral cells at the early stages. The virus is incubating and doing its early damage during that 24-48 hr window, these meds essentially bind and inactivate that neuraminidase that's responsible sa pag katap sa virus throughout the respiratory tract. After that, kung wala mabutangan imong lawas sa tambal, the replication/proliferation process is in full effect. That's when our own immune system kicks in and fights off the 'intruders' via our own antibody defense mechanism. These meds are MOST EFFECTIVE when taken at the start of the replication process, when neuraminidase is just starting to do its sinister work. Respiratory viruses are notoriously fast-acting, fast-replicating. The benefit of these meds is that they prevent proliferation of virions by inhibiting the action the neuraminidase at the EARLIEST stages, thereby shortening the duration of active symptoms.

Kanang sa imong gi ingon nga studies nga ok ghapon even after 48 hrs, mangutana ko nimo, how long after? Did they specify kung kanus-a? Maybe that was 49, 50 or 51 hours after onset of symptoms. But MOST definitely NOT AFTER 4-5 days. The thing is, you misinterpreted that article from the CDC, when they meant "duration" and you thought otherwise.

In most cases, even WITHOUT taking Tamiflu or Relenza, symptoms of the flu resolve within a week or so. That is our immune system kicking in.

[joshua259]

simbako lang gud... ayaw lang og ka abot sa Cebu...

Was it officially changed to Mexican Virus na? hehe...

I was just wondering... nagbasa2x ko about the term pandemic on wiki, and katong mga past known pandemics had wiped out up to 50% of the current population in a country or in the whole world at that time.

Basi nature's (or God's) way na ni of doing some damage control on the uncontrollable population boom. Di man gud mutuo ang mga tawo. Barato ra man unta birth control... yikes!

^This is more like nature's way of maintaining balance. I was watching an episode of Planet Earth called Deep Forests (or something like that), and I was amazed at how efficiently nature keeps everything in check. They were filming this huge colony of ants, when suddenly almost the entire colony gets wiped out by a virus. The scientists don't know why this happens, and why it happens with predictable regularity within the forest ecosystem, but they think it's nature's way of keeping the ants from getting too numerous and taking over the entire place.

mag.ampo nalang ta nga dili lang jud na maka sulud diri sa pinas.. It's airborn man d.i.. don't need to afraid sa pagkaon ug baboy..
