A little light on the subject, you must also have a fever for flu. Anyway, the reason swine flu has people so worried, is that it is behaving very much like the epidemic in 1918. In 1918, it first appeared in the spring and was fairly unremarkable. After traveling around the world, it came back in the fall mutated and killed millions. The demographic of those who died, were people in their 20-40's, not the young and old. Swine flu has the same demographic which is the opposite of the other flues we experience seasonally. It takes at least six months to develop the vaccines we take to limit our flu problems. Therefore, any vaccine that is made for swine flu now, may not be effective in the fall, which is why stockpiles of theraflu are being created. In our favor if swine flu does hit us hard, is the much greater knowledge we have regarding droplet precautions and sanitation procedures. Let's just hope this flu does wimper back in the fall.

Get better man. That stuff hasn't morphed yet into its deadlier cousin so you are OK after a bit with it.

Look at the bright side. Since you are infected early, if it ever did get out of hand, you would be immune since you would already carry the antibodies to fight it!

I told you kissing that pig was a bad idea.

Should be nothing that a few tots of rum can't fix. Take care and get well soon mate.

10:15 GMT....Phone call from the District Nurse informing me she will be accompanied by a Doctor when they visit my place of abode at 15:00 GMT

I asked "what will this entail?" (thinking as I said it "If she says....Oh, just a small curly one") I'd go ballistic LOL

Her response "Quite simple really, just a few swabs"

Now I'm wondering just how many places other than your nose and mouth they can put a swab

Phew!! All clear....twenty minutes before blast off received a phone call....the colleagues test results are negative

Looks like I've got a classic case of man flu

It takes a nurse AND a doctor to come to your residence just to take a few swabs???
