I can't believe that Cooper didn't realize that he had the flu much less the swine flu. Him being a news man and reporting it and all you'd think he'd have caught on to that!! I'm just glad that Cooper is now well on his way to recovery and is alright.

Glad also that Sanjay is doing well. It seems he had the worst case of the flu. Hopefully they both are immune to it now and won't be affected on their further travels abroad.

Cindy..Ga.

I don't think I believe Mackenzie Phillps, But she is on all outlets SELLING her book! What a better way to SELL books then to get on ALL networks. She should give ALL profits to abused children!!!

Great job...
You are trully covering 360% News ...
Lover the show,

That's it Sanjay... drive those ratings with your fear mongering. So ridiculous. Sickest he's ever been? PLEASE.

CNN is a joke.

Why would CNN bother to place a conversation between two old men talking about there illnesses. Don't we have something more important to know.

Rather then attracting media attention to how bad Dr Gupta felt, why not focus on how Anderson Copper just managed the symptoms and let life go on. An individual with H1N1 is not a media event.

Hopefully they were covering their mouths when coughing and washing their hands as he went around , even if they didn't know they had H1N1.

Wow, very informative video. I'm an American living in the U.K., and I have just been diagnosed with the flu. The NHS is not bothering to take a swab and see if it is swine flu, so I'll still see about getting immunized for that in October. (There are cases of Americans around here with swine flu, so I'm leaning toward that self-diagnosis.)
Not all swine flu cases are catastrophic, just like not all Type A flu cases are horrible. I'm running a slight fever, but am exhausted and coughing. Just like Cooper said, the chest hurts really bad when coughing. I was told that the worse part of this flu is that it takes a lot longer to recover, and that I will be feeling rough for more than a week, wondering when I'll get better. Meanwhile, I'm just trying to reassure family in the U.S. that I am not going to die from this!

please, please, PLEASE...stop calling it the swine flu...you have absolutely no idea what this virus has done to the hog industry...IT IS NOT THE SWINE FLU...everytime you refer to it as such the hog industry takes a nose dive in prices and we are losing thousands of dollars everyday because of it...the NPPC has put it out that media may not call it that any longer...the media is killing the hog farmers just like you did the tomato industry last year with that scare that didn't end up being tomatoes...the media has got to learn to get ALL the facts before you go and ruin someone's lively hood...It takes years to recover from something like this if we ever do...please do your research and report properly!!!!!!!!!

I'm glad that both Anderson and Dr. Gupta have recovered from
their bouts with Swine Flu. The silver lining in this is that you
don't have to worry about catching it, now.

Mr. Cooper fist of all I beleave all of the CNN crew are nothing more then heros the bravest of the brave and should all recieve special medals of honor in broadcasting this station is the most on the seen and up to the second live factfull news with people put fear second to tell the truth and show the facts good luck .

Poor Anderson Cooper. I think that you're on your way to recovery.
So true that viral infections just have to run their course.

I'm glad that Dr. Sanjay is feeling better as well.

Thank you for the enlightening coverage.

Be well,

Kathleen

Out here in Los Angeles, they keep the buses and markets freezing to kill H1N1. I wonder if that works as well as sunlight killing the virus? When we stopped seeing Dr. Gupta during Afghanistan week I thought he was probably sick, and Anderson looked unwell and unhappy. I could tell he was struggling hard to anchor. His dedication is admirable, but he should have rested instead of overtaxing his heart and the doctors doping him up so he could work. Dr. Gupta was sicker than AC; we're commenting on AC because he turned the conversation to his own illness last night. Hah hah. So happy they are both OK now.

Looks to me like Sanjay lost weight – I wonder how much?

Broadcasting from Afghanistan, none of you looked like you were feeling particularly chipper – I felt bad for you guys. Rather added to the impression of how hard it was to be there, and how hard it must be for our soldiers to be there. Thanks for the reporting and glad you are all (or at least Anderson and Sanjay) feeling better.

I'm amazed that Dr Gupta kept working!! And Anderson, too, for that matter. I'm glad both are doing fine now and I hope neither one will get the flu again.

Anderson,what kind of journalist dont realize the possibility to be infected with H1N1,if he had symtoms like caught,or feel freezieng.
You talk about this issue a lot of times,so mayby the fact,you dont get fever is a good evidence, you are not infected.
I am glad that Doc Sanjay is doing well,and all the best for you Anderson.Take some medicine again this caught.

I hope you get well soon Dr. Gupta, and glad to hear that you are doing better already.
But, please please, do not show up on CNN and give people advice on how to prevent the spread of H1N1 Clearly, you don't know either. We have a proverb in Turkish "If a bald doctor had a lotion for hair regrowth, he would have first used it by himself".
Koray
A Turk in Texas

It really shows how people might not think they have it and get others sick without knowing it.

Glad everyone is getting better.

I am having a hard time beliving that Anderson Cooper and Dr. Sanjay Gupta keep using the words "Swine Flu". The press has done a very good job of adding to the already stressed swine industry. Maybe CNN and Anderson Cooper should follow Ag Secetary Tom Vilsack's lead and not use the term "swine flu" and use the proper name H1N1. I always respected CNN for doing a good job of reporting but not anymore. Other news agencies are doing a better job of reporting H1N1 so maybe it's time for a change. When you start reporting correctly I might think about watching again.

You guys are just great, anderson and sanjay sorry you had the flu, but it helps to shine some light on the disease. People will not be so scared of it I guess.

I'm glad that both Dr. Gupta and Cooper are doing well now. For those of you who have made unwise comments here, you do not know or understand to what extent and unsafe places that both of them go about to cover the news, let it be for the sake of their channel. Sharing experience increases knowledge about Swine Flu. For those of you who do not know, Dr. Gupta while covering news saved the life of our Marine in Iraq by performing a brain surgery. That itself makes him a good human and brave hero. If he has some experience to share, listen and learn from it rather than commenting bad.

Thanks.

Glad to see everyone is feeling better. I too feel I had the H1N1 flu ths past week, and the cough is the worst. My question is that if it is established that you have had the H1N1 flu do you still need the vacine?
Thank you
