When you recover from the flu, you should not catch it again.
After your immune system beats the germ, "memory T-cells" stay in
your body to protect it. If the same germ comes back again, our system will react fast.
This time the body will react so fast that a new infection will not
cause symptoms. Vaccines expose our system to the germ so that it
can create those T-cells. But, The flu has a way to fool us. It mutates so fast that our
system cannot keep pace with it. Some times the changes are so small
that our system can still bind to them. And this would protect us
from catching the flu a 2nd time. Other time mutations change the shape of the cell enough that our
system cannot protect us. Known, as "antigen drift" so we can catch
the flu again. This will normally take many years to
do. Therefore, once you catch the flu you build up immunity
to it. You should not catch it again. At least that was the
case before the H5N1 virus started changing the rules. "In a new
study which compares the bird flu with a notorious killer" Dr.
Baskin showed that people might catch the same H5N1 germ a few
times. That would seem to mean that vaccines would have a limited
affect with this strain of bird flu. Let’s say it mutates into a
form passed easily among humans. We could have the swine flu H1N1
and the H5N1 bird flu germs circulating at the same time. I’m not
talking about reassortment, but the H5N1 starting its own pandemic.
The world Health organization shows Egypt this year has 36 confirmed
cases with four deaths. That is a death ratio of 11.1%, which is
much lower than the 60% many experts quote when referring to the
bird flu death rate. The death rate in Viet Nam this year is four cases and
four deaths, which is a death rate of 100%. There is
something clearly different in the flu strain in Viet Nam and the
flu strain in Egypt. Egypt and the Indonesia flu strains could be
nearing pandemic stage. Indonesia is taking advantage of the swine
flu pandemic “hogging” the headlines. The WHO (World Health
Organization) has them with no cases this year, which I believe is
highly unlikely. Indonesia has by far more deaths from the H5N1
virus than any other country. They have a history of not telling the
whole truth. Obviously, if a H5N1 pandemic starts, we need to know
if we can catch the H5N1 virus more than once. It will make a big
difference in how we plan to protect ourselves from this flu
virus. But today, how many people will die? The more chances the flu has
to infect you, the more people who could die. Catch the flu more
than once will make it easier to survive. Or will it make it harder
to survive. Will it make it easier by 10%? OR makes it harder by 50%
the 2nd time around? We need the answers to these
questions. The key is to not catch it at all. Total deaths in
1918 could have been more with no immunity. In that one 50 to 100
million people died. There were 1.8 billion people on earth at the
time. Today there are more than 6.5 billion people on earth. If your plan was to get a job after you caught the flu. And
survived it. That great plan is out the window. This means you
cannot at any time let your guard down. You would have to be even
more cautious after catching it once. Do you want to take a chance
of catching it again? Your body would probably be harmed by the
first attack. Maybe you would want to send someone else out into the public. We need
an answer to these questions as soon as possible after a pandemic
starts. Believe me. The answer could help us protect our
families. FREE Flu Protect Manual This Guide Shows You Interactively Using Multimedia too easily and quickly learn how to protect from catching
