Client has hand spray and disinfectant wipes - issued to all staff.
Any extreme pandemic policies? I heard Daily Mail employees have all been given Tamiflu courses already. Another co I know of is stipulating employees work from home if anyone in their (home) vicinity is confirmed as having Swine Flu - and if anyone comes to work with it, all employees in that building will have to work from home. For 7 days I believe.

Everyone here seems to have a mild flu - me included. Sore throat - Cough - Tired - better.
My theory is that it is very mild and spreads quickly, which fits with the spread in and from Mexico.
It could then mutate a la Spanish flu but WHO knows.

Swine flu latest
The local gym has placed hand wash bottles at the entrance gates as a preventative against swine flu. It's only a matter of time before we will have to wade through cattle grids filled with neurotoxins and don biohazard suits.Tags: None
