So I had a great roo this year, felt great the whole time and the week after roo I was diagnosed with Novel H1N1 (swine) Flu. I don't know how I got it, but I'm thinking it may be from roo this year. So has anyone else had the flu since bonnaroo this year?
BTW, I'm feeling fine now, but was sick as a dog (more like a pig?) this last weekend.

My son and his friend both came down with fever and cough a few days after returning home. They were sick enough to have to curtail their usual activities for a couple days. They're both 18 years old, and have recovered significantly with only a slight cough as of now. Neither bothered going to the doctor. I'm 52 and had no symptoms at all, even after being in close contact with both.

I came down with a flu on sunday, my wife and the friend we rode out with all succumbed a few days later. It was definatly a flu, not just a cold (Fevers, aches, sore throat all for about a week), and now my wife is telling me there aren't any other flus going around so, yeah, I got the sw!ne flu at the Roo.

I also didn't get super sick this year. A bit of a cough, but not terrible.
A lady in Dan's office has the actual swineflu. She came to work and spread her germs around. So far, no one else has it, but that was only a couple of days ago. It is super contagious, just not very deadly in it's present form.
Stay home from work if you are sick! Please? k thnx

edit...What's up with censoring sw!ne?
There is another thread concerning if this strain of flu would impact the festival. Discussion was contentious. The original thread got locked after much discussion, then reopened out in The Other Tent, as having nothing to do with Bonnaroo. As we are now discussing flu cases that assumingly directly resulted from attending the festival, this thread would appear to be in the right place.
My son and his friend began to have flu-like symptoms only a couple days after the festival. Both exhibited very similar symptoms; fever of 102, "bad" cough, some stomach upset (vomiting, loss of appetite). Both are much better now, with only a mild cough remaining after about a week.
The CDC recently released guidelines to deal with Novel H1N1 in "camp" situations. These came out on the last day of Roo, June 14, so could not be implemented at the festival. Given the size of Roo, fully complying with the guidelines would've been impractical. See: www.cdc.gov/h1n1flu/camp.htm
As no cause of death as been released for the single death occurring at this year's festival I won't speculate, except to say hot tents and high fevers are contraindicated.
Sinus infection. I thought I had the flu because of how terrible I felt, but I didn't even have a fever. I was happy, but a week and a half later I still feel like ass.
I'm sure it wasn't swine flu, but the boy and I definitely caught a nasty bonnaflu. Actually I think he caught it there since he started getting sick Sunday night, but I must've caught it from him because I didn't get sick until a few days later. I'm just now getting over it though. We were both totally out of commission for several days with a terrible head/chest/fever cold type thing.

Gaebryl got sick last week/weekend with the exact same symptoms, the doctor thought it was a viral bronchitis. He's getting better, just with a cough but now I've started getting sick. I assume it would be the same thing given the time and all for me to contract the virus, but my symptoms are much more like a cold. I just hope it's not slowly evolving into the same thing. It sucks. Two weekends now wasted in a row home on the couch sick!
I'm late to reply, but FUUUUUUUUUUUCK! Fo' shizz, the swine flu? Damn. My boyfriend is just getting over something he's had since Bonnaroo, kind of like mono in that he is always tired but no real flu like symptoms, though I diagnosed him with "Bonnaflu".
Well I'm feeling better besides a rough cough and I'm allowed to come back to work and class (I had to leave campus for 7 days) so that's good. Overall I would say that it was damn near identical to seasonal flu but I'm no Doc.

I picked up something, dont know if it was from the roo because it was about 2 weeks after, but i woke up with a 102 fever like three mornings in a row, phlem soar throat and achy body. I thought it was swine flu, but never got anything checked out, it just fizzled away.
Much Different than the black lung I got from the dustbowl bonnaroo of 2007
;D
