H1N1 = swine flu = bacon lung
Do you think that will catch on? I'm hoping it does because it sure is more fun to talk about bacon lung than swine flu.
Well folks, I feel like I am part of history. I had swine flu. Everyone is going to be talking about the swine flu epidemic of the 2010s and I am a part of it. And when I'm really old, kids will be learning about it in school (of course they'll be calling it bacon lung by then). They won't even be able to comprehend the severity of this epidemic.
I remember learning about polio and the flu epidemic during World War I and scurvy and all those other crazy epidemics but I never thought I'd be part of one! How lucky!
Ok but really, bacon lung is rough. I had no voice and no energy. All I did for 5 days was cough, sleep, and watch movies.

booo sorry you had it. Must have not been very fun. Glad you thought about it gratefully with a public health mind! Brings back to mind lectures from Infectious Diseases!
The information here is great. I will invite my friends here.
Thanks
