Here's another thing not to worry about: Swine Flu. West Nile was never all that serious a threat to the local population, except to those who were elderly or with compromised immune systems. Swine flu, while prevalent, has a very low death rate thus far. The regular old strains of influenza that go around every year prove to be many times *more* deadly than Swine Flu and West Nile, combined, but we don't seem to get all worked up or worried about that.

Get some perspective, folks.

I'll get some perspective. I have a family member laying in ICU on a vent with a very grim outcome. She is less than 50 and the picture of perfect health. So I'm not sure where you get your info, but it is obviously wrong. I am on this website to find any experimental treatment that has worked for others. I thought this website was for survivors not morons that pass around inaccurate info.

This website is an open forum within which anyone can make virtually any comment about any thing, without accountability, so in general, yes its a website heavily populated by morons and not a good place for the information you seek.

I'll say a prayer for your relative, and good luck with your search for reliable information
