kaitlyn[eastcoast] asked:


Swine flu was classified as phase 5 April 29, 2009.
Thats the second highest phase related to Swine Flu, apparently.

I’ve heard many different things when it comes to phase 6.

I live in Central New York, and recently a couple schools were closed down for a week or so for dicontamination.

How will New York/US be effected if the epidemic is raised to phase 6?

How effective is a surgical mask at protecting the wearer against the swine flu? Let’s say for some reason I don’t want to get the swine flu (duh), would wearing a surgical mask in public protect me 100% or not?

Over spring break (April 4-April 9) I went to New York City. Cases of the swine flu are now being recognized in the city and I am experiencing symptoms of an upper respiratory infection. I’m scared I’ve been exposed. How long after exposure to swine flu do symptoms take to generate?

My symptoms include sore throat, nasal congestion, fever, and very mild coughing. I don’t however have nausea or diarrhea, which is also stated as a symptom. Help! I’m scared. I live in Atlanta and I don’t want to be the one who brings swine flu to Georgia.
