Influenza Symptoms  (caused by the H1N1 virus which is airborne) body aches, muscle and joint pain headache, a sore throat and a unproductive cough with occasionally harsh breathing fever, which ranged from 37.7 to 40 C and lasted for a few days The onset was sudden, you felt extreme dizziness, weakness and pain whether: on duty, at work, at home, or in the street. After the disease was established the mucous membranes became reddened with sneezing. In some cases there was a haemorrhage of the mucous membranes of the nose and bloody noses were commonly seen. Vomiting occurred on occasion, and also sometimes diarrhea but more commonly there was constipation (JAMA, 10/3/1918). It was a tendency for secondary complications, such as pneumonia, that made this influenza infection so deadly. Some pneumonia victims suffocated in their own secretions. In a Canadian bio hazard laboratory, reconstructed H1N1 virus was found to easily infect macaque monkeys, spread quickly throughout the lungs, and kill within a few days.
