Dunno print it in a newspaper and you'll still have people buying hoards of foot spa things, meths and stoneing the local russians.

Much ado about nothing.

I work for the Health Protection Agency at the centre for emergency prepardness and response, some of the geeks here are in there element as they now have some thing to do to justify there existence.

Sounds very much like what I had a month or so ago!

Fantastic news! I wont even notice it then. That's my daily state of being, most of the time.

I had proper flu (all of those symptoms except the runs) about a month ago. That must make me a survivor! ... Go me...

Pfffff

Can't be bothered to read about all this flu business. If I get it, I get it. If I dont, I dont.

To me that all sounds like "normal" flu which knocked me flat just after Christmas - but I'm an Enginner so what do I know

I wonder how many of us popped our clogs due to normal flu last year
I am certain the number dying from man flu will be significantly higher of course
