I know several people who "have" swine flu, personally I'm not convinced, and in view of the fact that it is a MILDER form of flu, I really can't see what all the fuss is about!

my daughter has bin poorly this wk n doc told her she has all the signs of swine flu n has put her on the pills 4 it. She has severere headaches, feels sick, has a temperature aches all ova n has a sore throat. Whether they being ova cautious or not I dont know.

sorry to hear that drobess, did she get treated quickly and are her tablets working? my family live in cov and dont think they know anyone whose had it yet
drobess
she got treated quickly fanx julie, so hopefully she will av a speedy recovery, like i said tho they may just be being ova cautious but betta 2 be safe than sorry. I did say 2 her that i wouldnt worry unless she started going round on all 4's and squealing like a pig tho
julie j
lol, so was she told to stay at home for a certain amount of time after recovery so she didnt spread it around?

Brummie Jackie
We've just had our first case at work today, some people have now gone out and bought face masks !!
(mite just get 1 to give plp a rest from lookin at this weird face)
Matt
dont even hear about it here. Nobody mentions it, not in the news or anything.
tangoman60
there will always be some one who will struggle into work and spread it about!!!there not sure if wearing a mask does any good!theres a theory that its better to catch it now while its mild which may give you some immunity to it if it mutates in the winter to sommat more deadly!! as for working it off!if it is real flu yu wont yull be in bed!
