Staying at home when your sick is great in theory, but what you have to remember is that a majority of workers don't have a sick plan that pays them when they are off work. Not too many can afford to be off work for a week until the virus is gone. Just imagine all the workers in the service industry showing up for work sick.

And of course that's the way the immune system works. Maybe "training" isn't exactly the right word, but the point is still true. I guarantee I'll be healthier in the long term by not vacinating for everything (and being mildly sick several times in between), and just going without.
How can you guarentee us you won't get the H1N1 virus?

If having a flu means that you are sick for more then one day at a time, then I've never had the flu in my life.
Trust me you don't want it.
