damnit, stacey! i was trying to find a way for it not to be flu. so id be thinking everyones ok after a little gatorade and rest. dont intrude on my denial that anythings wrong! lol or cajun hot peanuts. or so ive heard.
Any idea whether or not this directly caused the offensive breakdowns in the second half? I mean, a mobile QB getting sacked six times in a half is unheard of...:angry: I can only HOPE they have an excuse for that. LOL, just had a flashback of Billy Bob in Varsity Blues. :lol: "I love that dog!" "I think it's a pig..." "I know."
Don't hit play if you don't want to see it but here it is: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f1bHAKqAYOY[/media]
Yeah, some do vomit, but like I said, in my experience, most do not. I am seeing 5-10 cases per day in my region presently, and 75-80% do not have vomiting associated with their symptoms. Again, vomiting can occur, particularly if you swallow alot of your upper respiratory secretions, but in a majority it is not happening. My own son has swine right now, and has had absolutely no gastrointestinal symptoms, just to add another anecdotal experience Regarding Flu A vs B vs Swine, many people are tested for Flu A or B, not swine, and if they come up positive, are told they have that (A or B). In counties (not parishes where we live, Swine Flu is not encouraged to be tested unless you require hospitalization, and the test is primarily offered through the county, so only the ERs and wards have the specific swine flu test to begin with. At this time of the year, if a person is coming up positive on any "Flu test", essentially they have swine. It's not A or B going around this time of the year, just to be clear. The main rapid test available in offices/clinics is a human influenza test, and this may be triggered positive by swine flu (human H1N1 and swine H1N1 are similar genetically and can trigger a positive test). A and B are referred to as seasonal flu, b/c they essentially peak in late December/early January, and again in late February/early March. Sometimes those times vary a bit year to year, but are almost exclusively in the winter. So, anybody diagnosed with "flu" right now really has "swine flu", not A or B. Hope that makes sense Regarding the players, again it is "most likely" they were experiencing a stomach bug, i.e. a virus (other than swine), but is possible that it was bacterial toxins from food ingestion as Gumborue suggests, or swine, as others say, but the most likely is a routine, brief, self-resolving stomach virus. Another plausible explanation is non-infectious, such as dehydration, but doubt that would happen to multiple players simultaneously.
Looking back, maybe grossing Coach Richt was the difference in the 2nd half. Maybe we play this on the big screen during the game... [MEDIA]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U68s4JI22Zk[/MEDIA] LSU...F**K YA!!! Oh, and vomiting is a symptom for about 1000 sicknesses.
its really hard to say with such limited info. hopefully youre right and its some Norwalk-like virus because it runs its course quickly, but it is super-contagious. anyone know if clm has had the team chowing down on tamiflu? its effective agaisnt h1n1 but not encouraged as a prophylactic because overuse can lead to resistance and the side effects arent well known. but, hell, there's a big game coming up.
The camera man did a great job of capturing the vomiting! It looked all liquid to me. I paused/FF/RW and couldn't identify any chunks. :geauxtige:geauxtige :geauxtige:geauxtige
