Default Am I being harsh?

We get a phone call from the missus mum . That 9 month nephew has "swine flu". So today they've decided to have a trip to visit him . Bearing IN mind her immune system is strong as wet paper bag. I don't wanna catch any flu .. As everybody knows man flu is bad never Mind swine man flu.

Should I lock her under the stairs for 2 hours or more as punishment for her silliness?

Flu is not pleasant at the best of times, exposing yourself to the misery of seasonal flu is stupid.

I think the same. I wonder if I should just try and catch it and get it over and done with but..... With my sensible head on I would do my best to avoid, Hopefully there will be a jab for it in a few months.
I know a few people that have had the old swine flu and they tell me its not pleasant. Not as bad as flu but worse than a cold, And as above you throw man flu into the mix and your talking a month of work.

Bit foolish to risk getting it and also spreading it around even further.

There's also no evidence to say that you can't catch it more than once (different strains etc)

Or so I read somewhere - but IMHO, just plain daft to willingly expose yourself to something that could be avoided.

all IMHO of course
