Top Trumps - Viruses

I've got a common cold.

It has a potency of only 2, whereas Swine Flu has 8. Hmm. I'm going to have to go with Recurrence. Common cold has a Recurrence rating of 7. Swine Flu has 3.

Trumped!

On to my question. If somebody is suffering from a heavy cold, and then contracts the Swine Flu, does the Swine Flu negate the cold, in as much as symptoms? Or would they strengthen one another and make symptoms even worse? Educated answers please.

I hear that the Man Flu card has a 'Debilitating' rating of 10.

So if a man gets swine flu. They're basically gonna die right?

Never mind all the advice for pregmunt women. We should be worrying about the menfolk!

I reckon seasonal flu with a kidney stone attack would trump most things. You'd be barely able to move from the flu and barely able to stay still because of the kidney stone. I doubt they'd cancel each other out.

Swine flu seems quite mild for some people: aches and fever but not wipeout.

I had the flu about 14 years ago the proper flu and I thought I was dying I could not eat lift my head up off the pillow for about a week ,and was hallucinating as my tempreture was very high,I cant be bothered listening to anyone who is walking around and say they have flu its more a case of a bad cold,and there are people saying they have swine flu that have not been even tested or seen a doctor the doctor cannot always go with what they are told ,the real flu is horrendous and you certainly cant go about doing your daily routine .
