We've got Swine Flu - SV650.org

When I say 'we' I mean my school. Confirmed case in a kids family.
But typical - they no longer close schools for swine flu because the containment policy is no longer viable!

Great get flu, just in time for the summer holidays!

So, to reduce the risk of you spreading it to the rest of the Org, you wont be attending the AR then.......................

Runs like crazyyyyyy

Yearh right. If I don't then no-one else will grrrrr!

Yep, a kid in year 6 at my daughters school has it as well.

Better to get it now whilst the symptoms are still mild than to get it later after it mutates into something nastier

One of my colleague's kids has it at their school and the lady who's desk is next to mine has pnumonia and had been coughing for weeks before she went to see the doc.

Swine 'flu and pnumonia. I'm a gonner

yep, agree it's better to get a mild dose, specially when otherwise fit and well.

But not now! Just one week til summer holidays

Why couldn't we have got in in September ;(

so is it like guaranteed death or just like regular winter flu (which admittedly can kill but only in 'high risk' groups) where you feel rrrubbish for a few weeks but then get better with lots of pain killers and rest?

Oh noes..!

A couple of schols where I live have confirmed outbreaks of swine flu. I dont think theres any escape. If you're going to get it then you'l get it.

I dont think it is as bad as the media are making out. It is only a real concern if young children, elderly people and people with an exisiting health problem get it. But I could be wrong.

Just flu but they give you pills to stop you being infectious. You get a sore throat & want to be sick if you continue going to the gym....

ah well thank goodness for that, I thought it was on a par with mad cows disease/CJD or something which will basically end your life in a second. Good old news corporations starting fires eh
