Do you think you would have been better off going to the hospital sooner? I had H1N1, unknowingly, but we went to the doctor when I had a 102 fever and could barely walk. The doctor took a nasal swab, and the immediate result was H1N1+. He strongly recommended that I be checked into the hospital until the thorough 24 hour results came back (the results were also positive). They immediately put me on Tamiflu, Relenza, and a nebulizer, and I was released 2 days later. I guess you could say I got lucky, due to the intensity and outcome of others experiences, but do you feel the serious, genuinely life threatening, part could have been avoided?
