    There is a greater chance you will die from the seasonal flu and those are not good odds to begin with.

    There is a better chance you will die from autoerotic asphyxiation, which I know nothing about.

    I read that not many people die from swine flu. But considering there's the regular seasonal flu(whever that might be)that people die from, coupled with H1N1 that fewer die from, it looks bad overall because they're both thrown into one category, flu.

    Just great. My wife has never had the chicken pox. That should be interesting when the kids eventually get it.

    Your kids have probably been vaccinated for it, right??

    If I were your wife I'd get vaccinated (twice). Chicken pox can be very serious when an adult gets it.

    I never had it either and when my son got it I was concerned I would too but I didn't. I never had the mumps or measles either. Now they have shots for all of those so your wife shouldn't have to worry.

    The kids are up to date on all their vaccinations so I'm assuming they are good to go. Thanks for the advice.

    Both my mom and younger brother have also had shingles, which people that have had chicken pox can get. It looked painful.

    After you've had the H1N1 flu, are you then immune or can you get it again?

    You can get it again, but it's called the H2N2 flu.
