I don't understand these concerns about swine flu meeting up with bird flu and creating a much more lethal virus. Apparently they "exchange genetic material" Sounds rude to me.
My garden has loads of dragon flies flying around in pairs, one with its bum stuck in the back of other's head, how does that work? Animals have all the fun.

Don't know if it makes us immune to piggy flu.
There is a cure for swine flu, if you get a high temperature rub some oinkment on the forehead.

Originally posted by minestrone View PostIt is really because the labs are too busy and it is taking 2 days to get the results back. Only 8% of people who are getting tested actually have pig flu.
In fact if anyone has it now they are better protected from the supposed surge in cases expected in the Autumn.

Sympathies. I'm the other way round: on the bench but not a sign of flu or jury duty or whatever.....

Had this one, kicks in hard for 48 hours but eases well after that. Expect a week of 'congestion' but you can function fine. Naturally I 'worked' through it as I have my own office chances of passing on were reduced.
