It could be any chris, although i'm sure the emails from bbc, bbc points, and the interview with my mother back at home may beg to differ ;-)

swskier, you've gone awfully quiet over there. I hope you've not caught the pig-flu from the others in your hotel?

The cure is OINKment for the rash....er 8)

Swineflu is driving me to distraction. I have had to have a go at so many people to-day. I work in the designated Tamiflu collection point for the area. Some-one, a named person by the GP has to collect on behalf of the patient. I have had husband collecting for his wife, then 10 minutes later the wife collects for her Husband. The risks they are presenting to me and my staff is ridiculous. I am wearing one of my Husbands storm trooper helmets to work to-morrow. That'll show them.

It's a shame really we have to believe all the hype about swine flu, I have been in close contact with two people who have it, now I walked into my doctors reception explained that I have come into contact with two people who have swine flu she straight away pushed her chair away from me telling me a doctor will ring me, they can't see me, after telling her to grow up or get another job I walked out of the surgery.
The doctor did ring that evening and gave me a cock and bull story about they cannot do anything until I have the symptoms, I am not quite sure what my line of complaint will be but rest assured there will be one. :evil:

If you are walking in to the doctors with the story you have been in contact with the flu then you are definitely being sucked in by the media hype :lol:

As a Diabetic I have to take precautions the last thing I want to sound like is a victim but I have to be careful with flu hence the yearly flu jab I have. :shock: :shock:

I collected Tamiflu from a local pharmacy last night for my son who was sent home from work diaplying the symptomns having spent last week sitting directly opposite a colleague who had swine flu. I am still not sure why that person waas allowed to attend work.

As for the hype about it, perhaps people shouldnt worry about it until they get affected by it, or someone close to them has it, rather than scoffing at what they think is right or wrong about the way the media are covering it.
