That's actually a reasonably good point.

Mmm, I guess it is (not intentionally). Many contractors here talk about going in regardless of being ill. That implies deliberately exposing their work-place to infection which could cost the company far more than a couple of days' pay.

I too, have been feeling a bit rough, but have been diagnosed as H2O Swine Flu
It's like the real thing but watered down a little

I took a week off last week - due to a confirmed bout of flu - was not tested for piggy flu as my doctor said they are not bothering to test anymore (!?).
I have not had any time off sick for 3 years and as a contractor I have never had a whole week off. I was conscious of not passing it round clientco, but someone else round here has a confirmed case of it.
Whatever type of flu it was, It's really knocked me for 6, a fortnight since first symptons appeared and I'm still not 100% again.

Time for the gas masks again.

I've been wearing mine for months now, so I'll be safe.

I've been feeling like a sac-de-merde for a couple of days, and rang my doctor an hour ago.

They have stopped swabbing, stopped treatment with tamiflu except in high fever vulnerable patients.
The number one symptom now is high fever (38c).

Interestingly he asked me what I thought it was, when I said tonsillitis, he said he was 99% sure I was right. 'People know their own bodies'


Doctors didnt used to say stuff like that.


Anyways, I aint taking any time off

Hence why I've got my own stockpiles of Tamiflu and Relenza.
