Here in Paraná all classes were postponed to August 10th - even at UFPR - I see no reason for panic, ´cause last year there were much more cases of people that died from our regular flu in July than from the swine flu in this same month.

well here are some differences they are giving in my country:
A h1 n1 (swine flu) Seasonal flu
Temperature 39 or more less than 39
headache Very intense less intense
Shivering Frequent rarely
feeling of being tired Very intense moderated
Sore throat minor intense
coughing continous not so frequent
running nose not so common very common and intense
muscle aching intense moderated
itching eyes intense moderated
Here so far the virus has killed 20 people (reported) However, it is believed that the amount is higher. They associate these death to other risk factors people may have like obessity, diabetes, heart desease, pregnancy , asthma etc..
They recommend washing the hands frequently.
Hope this helps you.

We found out that our school may close until August 10th, but only if the mainstream schools in the area close. We ´ll see what happens.
I just found this article on Terra News. Interesting. This is why I don ´t trust the vaccinations.
