I just lost a friend to complications of H1N1 flu. He was a great guy, a musician, a good friend to all who knew him. But he also drank too much and didn't take very good care of himself. I guess because he had always been a big, strong guy whose body was able to endure the abuse.
Well he got the flu and a high fever. He rested and did the right things for a couple days and when he started to feel a bit better he went back to hydrating himself with beer rather than juice and toughing it out. That's when it got him, H1N1.
He thought it was done with him and it wasn't. He died of severe dehydration and possibly a secondary infection.
So, heed this warning. Don't mess with H1N1, follow the advice of the health care professionals. Get plenty of rest and hydrate yourself well, with juice not beer!
