The Swine Flu Revealed
11/06/2009 at 9:00 a.m.
The H1N1 swine flu has gotten a lot of buzz recently, but many of us still have questions. Will the vaccine come too late for most people? Can you take the regular flu vaccine and the H1N1 vaccine at the same time? What are swine flu symptoms? Is death a possibility for everyone? How quickly do things go downhill? What treatment should you give yourself or a child? Today on "Weekday" — everything you ever wanted to know about the swine flu. Call 1.800.289.5869 (KUOW) with your questions.
Also, the memorial for slain Police Officer Timothy Brenton takes center stage today. We start "Weekday" speaking with KUOW reporter Amy Radil on location. Why is tradition and ritual so important to police culture, especially when an officer is killed?
Plus, Cliff Mass joins us with a weekend weather forecast.
