That's what I always thought but I'm sure I read somewhere that with this strain, you're infectious for 5-7 days after symptoms show, that's partly why many doctors surgeries are telling people to bugger off if they turn up with visible symptoms.

Picksters been poorly the last few days! Not swine floo though I'm sure (well unless he gets any worse but he said he was feeling a bit better last night!

) All achey joints and headpangs and hot flushes and then cold! Running a bit of a temp too! More of an evening/morning thing though. A summer bug which requires much sympathy and "aww" and "can I get you anything"

I would have said man floo after going out for a walk with him yester with the dog (me skipping along and him saying "sloooow dooooooown, I aaaache, you forget I'm pooooooorly!"

) but he did have a soaring hot forehead last night so I will unmanfloo-title-him.

Does make me wonder though how many people would immediately panic and go "swine floooo swine flooooooo!" if they had these symptoms.

Poor bugger.

I have to agree with the people who go to work all bunged up and looking half dead. It's absolutely sickening.

Actually, seriously though, they shouldn't! Like not a sniffle and a bit of a sore throat people but the dribbly eyes, constantly coughing everywhere, raw red nose from blowing too many tissues, flemmy gooed up aching ill people who then sit there all day saying "I feel ill...". GO HOME THEN and STOP SPREADING YOUR SCUMMY GeEEEeeeeeeERMs!!

*is glad she works from home sometimes*

People like that are going to be the main cause of zombie invasions in the foochure. I will enjoy thwacking their zombified heads with LP's.

Oh and I think I must be ill of sorts. Who is wide a blooming wake at 5am in the morning when they don't have to get up?! Unless ofcourse you've just got back in - fair doo's! But seriously! Had to come downstairs and play with some cards all morning!

Stupid body clock.

JUst been informed that the services offices we work out of - some of the staff there have the dreaded Swine Flu. Boss sent me a text this morning saying to work from home "until it pans out".

Haha! Nice choice of words!

One of the girls at work has allegedly got swine flu. She didn't look terribly ill when I saw her in B&Q about 30 minutes ago choosing new floor tiles. She's the sort of person that is always 'ill' when there is a warm sunny spell.

She'll be getting SSP unless she can get a doctors note.

I has it!!!

Well, I have whatever Mrs Dym had when she spoke to NHS Direct and was confirmed as having it and prescribed Tamiflu...

Pretty much like a very mild flu...

Currently working from home so I don't infect my staff...
