Swine Flu

[Will]

Which is why I make sure I eat well and eat good stuff and know nutritional values and additives. I personally never take anything more hardcore than aspirin. I understand what you're getting at that everything in moderation is ok - but I don't believe in taking lots of pills for medication.

Oh yeah the liver is great, I've looked quite a lot into hepatic functions and how to improve it's health and improve the body in general - it's a hobby and interest of mine. It's fascinating. There's more than the liver that needs to be considered though.

Work have ordered a box of face masks (although funnily enough they are out of stock atm) If residents start showing symptoms and are coughing and sneezing then carers may feel more comfortable wearing them when doing personal care for those people

I can understand it for an environment like yours Tak - just be sure to change it regularly.

We have face masks, they make me look even more of a tw@ so I refuse to wear them.

And we need Gold (Chief Inspector) authority to put them on

EDIT - Actually, I just checked, it's Silver authority (Superindendant, a special Swine Flu Supernintendo as well.)

Lol

I work very closely with the NHS now as part of my job, doing all sorts of background stuff and the gears are seriously in motion for this to be a major thing. Talk around the office isn't particularly great to hear sometimes.

Tell me about it Dr.Z = my partner works for the NHS and has been 'conscripted' for the swine flu team!

Comes home with some delightful news 'from the horses mouth' some days

Having to do a poster at work stating the bloody obvious (that being if you've got it or think you have it, don't visit!!!) after 3 separate visitors came in coughing and sneezing and telling us they'd been signed off work because of the flu :/
I know a lot of the elderly seem to have more antibodies against this flu but the staff don't and they are the ones who are more likely to get ill - then who will look after mum/dad/nan/grandad/etc???

Another reason I'm glad I work from home. I really get annoyed at people who insist on coming into a stuffy office when they're ill with something like the flu, or a nasty cold.

Go away. Nobody wants you snotting all over the place just so you can say "Never had a day off" Stop being a jobsworth and go home and stay there until you're better, like a normal person.
