H1N1 is a respiratory disease. Unless she has it and she's sneezing on you, or you're sniffing her clothes, you're probably fine.

lol
swineflu contracted through headphones
even if you share headphones its still the same chance as jsut sitting next to her

if her brother has it
then hteres a chance that she could get it from him
if she doesnt have it
you wont get it from her
and if she does have it
shell be out of school for ages so it wont effect you

[cooldude123]

She should be out of school because her brother has it...

I think...

[ShatteredWings]

No, if she's not sick she shouldn't be out of school
If one of your siblings had pinkeye, should you be out of school beacuse of it? No.

Honestly stop freaking out over the h1n1 thing.

Be healthy. dur.

[Discomposure]

I dunno what the big deal is about. I've had it, it's not nice but it's not the worst thing ever to get. It goes in a week and a few days!
Unless there is an underlying medical illness.

As for catching it, I think everybodys going to get it at some point, or at least the majority of people. I'm glad I got it before winter, supposed to be worse!

[mrmcdonaldduck]

dont worry, sine flu isnt worse than regular flu, it just has a worse name. as for catching it from her, unless she coughs or sneezes on you, you should be fine.

[OneManArmy]

swine flu is only serious if ur very old or very young, or have a very serious medical condition which even regular flu can kill, and ur obviously not old nor very young, and I highly doubt u have that, but even if u do get u won't die. The news is just trying to scare you, they blew this thing WAYYYYYYYY out of proportion.

And as stated above only if she has coughed or sneezed on you, can make u get it, and I think only if she has it, u can get it but I'm totally not sure. But I doubt u can get swine flu, even regular flu from sharing headphones, maybe an ear infection at the worst.

Chill out, you can only catch ear infections from sharing earphones, nothing else. My sister had swine flu, was in bed for a couple of days, felt a little bit crappy, then was fine again.

It's essentially a bad cold, or some people have it and don't even realise becuase the effects of it are so low

Oh yeah, watch out for Tamiflu, is isn't suitable for vegetarians as it contains animal-derived gelatin.

[JackOfClubs]

If you didn't know, you wouldn't be worrying :P. Its really not that bad, the first one or two nights might be bad, but after that its just like a cold. In my school, we aren't allowed to do anything for 5 days, and I got it on a Tuesday, so it was like a 5 day weekend :D.

Anyway, don't be worried, its not serious unless you are really old, or really young, which you aren't.

Oh yeah, watch out for Tamiflu, is isn't suitable for vegetarians as it contains animal-derived gelatin.

and it can make teenagers go insane.... remember the bird flu thing?
