First confirmed case was reported on Friday.

As expected the kids are voting with their feet, as they only have three days left. So a nice easy week for yours truly.

Fifty calls an hour from parents worried by "Facebook knowledge" and plague and pestilence raining down on South Leeds.

dunx

P.S. I expect we will have to sanitise our mice & keyboards now....

 

Where abouts in S.Leeds dunx?

 

I'm glad I don't work on airconditioners anymore. The bacteria and viruses these things harbour doesn't make for a pleasent or healthy work environment.

 

I'm sure the media are but one step behind....

I ought not say for now !

But Sharp Lane Primary is one, we are going public tonight, but the kid was infected on work placement, and hasn't been in here for 10 days...

Tsk, watch them all panic !

dunx

 

3+ kids at the girls' school, a few people at one of our other offices and now one of my other halfs team members.


Think I haven't got long left...


...until 2 weeks off work

 

no chance of stopping it ,what is the difference between swine flu and normal flu
normal flu kills loads every year

 

My mrs has a friend that is just about got over it now, She was in bed for 3 days, felt rubbish for about 5 and it total it lasted about 8.
She said it was in between a cold and a normal flu, No big deal really.

That translates into this if you speak BBC.

We are all dooooomeeddddd

 

My wife was diagnosed with it around 2 hours ago Doctor won't give her Tamiflu either (which Is a bit offside I feel)

I'm looking forward to getting it in around 2 days

 

From what I have been told stock up on lemsip, sothers and Tiger balm. Get a couple of cases of water and some good DVD's!

 

Waaaaaayy ahead of ya (except for the Tiger Balm - heads off to Google it)

 

My mate's girlfriends mum has it, an old school friend has it, the g/f's brothers have spent a weekend on a stag do with a bloke diagnosed with it............and I've just started coughing and sneezing.
All in all.............
SWINE FLU SLOWLY CATCHING UP WITH DIARRHOEA AND HICCUPS - The Daily Mash

 

Will you have time to clean your car now, do you think, Dunx...........

 

I've either got flu coming on or the mother of all colds

Horrible having flu/cold with asthma, your chest is so sharp and painful

Must have lost about 1st in sweat last night alone

 

Tamiflu works best if flu is treated within 48 hours so go and see the doctor if you can, or don't if you don't want to want to line Donald Rumfeld's pocket.

 

A relative has got me an app. this afternoon and is picking my Mrs up from work as I really don't feel comfortable driving.

I'm hoping I have a chest infection/cold and not full on flu again. It's f*ckin horrible

 

It's my boss , and the security cameras that are the problem.....

dunx

P.S. I've had a sore throat for three days, and feel a bit tired, so about normal.

 

Done, but that had nothing to do with swine flu

and everything to do with this!

 

She doesn't look THAT mucky to me ?

LOL

I am off work, felt tired and feverish for about 5 days now, no sign of getting better. Been sleeping about 3-4 hours during the day and usual at night. Do you think I have it? The doc wouldn't commit to me having it, but I do work some of the time in a secondary school and with young people generally, so could have caught it there.

 

At least one confirmed colleague with Swine Flu at work, bring on the overtime.

 

@Clarebabes NHS symptom checker. But when my son followed it the advice was "phone for an ambulance immediately" He was OK within a couple of days.

 

Yeah, I'm not dying, but the fact I've been in contact with lots of teenagers, sometimes in enclosed spaces, makes me nervous! Oh well, back to bed with some 8-12 glasses of clear liquid then

 

Similar here, amazing what a decent meal and 5-6 hours kip on the sofa does.

Just got back from the docs and I'm on anti biotics for a viral infection thank god. He was very scrupelous with me though, as I have asthma. Apparently vunerable?

 

Anti-biotics won't do anything for viral infection, will they?

 

quick quick...... Tamiflu! Its the only cure! lol

 

They said on the news the other night that they reckon tens of thousands of people have had it already, and because it isnt much worse than a normal cold, havent gone to the doctors so it hasnt been reported, and they have just got better rather than being dead.

Seems like it is only really dangerous to people who already have some other illness and get it on top.

One thing the media haven't mentioned is how many people die each year from normal flu though ? imagine its quite a lot with elderly people ?

 

wasnt it 15 000 a year die of normal flu?

 

No, absolutely nothing at all.

 

Dunno, got some Amoxicillin. As said he gave me them as I'm asthmatic. I'm not a doctor myself so took his advice and prescription sheet with thanks and daudled out his room
