I’ve recently been off work for a few days with flu-like symptoms. There have been a succession of people physically close to me in the office that also came down with similar ill effects. It may or may not have been H1N1 but having followed the online diagnosis tool, I was advised to get my Flu buddy to go up to ASDA and get a course of Tamiflu.
(I suspect that it would have told me the same thing if I had reported a bad hangover!)
I reckon I’m back to 80% now but tire easily, the other sufferers took a couple of weeks to get back to normal so that sounds par for the course.
One of our suppliers sent me some Swine Flu jokes, cut & pasted below. They made me smile!
I called the Swine Flu hotline – all I got was cracklingI heard that the first symptom is that you come out in rashers.Another is that you get the trotts.I woke up with pig tails this morning … Should I be worried?The doctor asked me how long I’d had the symptoms of Swine Flu. I said it must have been about a Weeeeeeeeeeeeeek!Apparently my mate’s got Swine Flu – I think he’s just telling porkies! The only known cure for Swine Flu in humans has been found to be the liberal application of oinkment.
IF YOU GET AN EMAIL ABOUT SWINE FLU DELETE IT AS ITS ONLY SPAM.
This little piggy went to market,
This little piggy stayed at home,
This little piggy had roast beef,
This little piggy had none,
And this little piggy had influenza A virus subtype hemagglutinin protein 1 neuraminidase protein 1.
Swine flu however, is not a problem for the pigs because they’re all going to be cured anyway!
News Flash …. This just in. The world’s religious leaders have issued a joint declaration that the Swine Flu pandemic is the start of the aporkalypse.
Swine flu has now mixed with bird flu. Scientists say they will find a cure when pigs fly.
I just heard on the news that, “Swine Flu could potentially be a threat to every single person in the world”. Well it’s a good thing I’m married then, isn’t it?
This is not a time for panic. It is no pig deal. It is a mild hamdemic, don’t believe the spam you’re getting.
It may or may not have been H1N1 but having followed the online diagnosis tool, I was advised to get my Flu buddy to go up to ASDA and get a course of Tamiflu.
Good week for Rosche, bad day for my wife and you- she was advised to go on it 2 weeks after birth, and advised to bottle feed as it’s effects on babies are unknown.
Nasty stuff anti-virals; avoid anything designed to screw with DNA synthesis if you can.
I imagine Roche were paid a long time ago if we have had stocks for H5N1 with a three year shelf life since the bird flu scare.
