A face mask is next to useless, you pick up colds and flu off surfaces with your hands. Its no worse (in fact it is usually not as bad) than the usual seasonal flu so I don't understand the panic in the media.

is the "feeling like shit", nothing to do with the 20 pints of lager you had yesterday??

Do they take them off when you walk past?

Makes you wonder;

 

This little girl and doctor who have recently died due (they think) to swine flu. What is the usual death toll due to any other type of flu at this time of year?

Is the media trying to induce a little paranoia?

 

Just wait until the start of the football season. By then it'll be at fever-pitch and the sudden realisation that many thousands of people, stood within a few yards of each other, is a recipe for the biggest outbreak of whatever-they-are-calling-it-in-a-month we have ever seen. Worse, in fact, than the black death!

I've never had flu in my life, so I reckon I must be immune

 

I think I'm just further along the evolutionary process than most

In a word, Michael - Yes!

Our carpet fitter at work has got it, i should imagine he will be layed down for a bit :good:

Oh I see, it was the "Layed Down" bit that threw me.

Like Mickbrown, I have never had flu and can't honestly remeber having had a cold since school.

 

I agree entirely with Mick - some of us have evolved past these Dickensian afflictions.

It's not me, it's nature

 

If it were down to me, swine Flu would be caught by, in no particular order

young lad in our road has a suspected dose.

 

i say suspected because the doctor wont see him, to confirm it!

 

told his mam, he should just stay inside and treat as normal flu.

Well here's the test of my advanced immune system

 

Nipper's nursery teacher has it and the mum of a girl in her class.

 

Bring it on.

Has there been many cases in Bolton?? ive not really heard of any apart from the ones mentioned on here

its picking up pace methinks

 

5 over here sent home today

Serious question here as I havn't been taking any notice.

 

If its no worse than normal flu and is being treated in the same way, how and why are we hearing about all these deaths?

 

If I was to get it, is it a simple case of going to the Chemist and picking up some tablets?

If you get it ring yer GP he'll tell you to lie in bed and perhaps send someone to pick up some tamiflu

 

take yer tamiflu, rest and you'll be reet.
