I've had a flu bug for 4 days now, constantly sneezing and have a runny nose all the time, I've gave it to 4 people, my mum, dad, freind and another freind.
Hope it ain't swine flu, but it is easing now which is very good.
1st flu i had had in about 4-5 years.

probably hayfever--half the west midlands thinks it flu:)

Won't be ready until the autumn - it takes time to grow.

Not really. 3 people have died out of several thousand who have been infected and all three deaths were of people who have had serious underlying health issues on top of the swine flu.

No need to find a bunker in the woods just yet. :)

I had a headache last night, and woke up today with a runny nose, bowel issues, an itchy throat and an annoying cough. Looked up the symptoms of swine flu for giggles, and crapped myself, as everything I had was under the symptoms list.

Though everything seems fine now.

It was more of a gradual thing, as I read down the list.

Agreed. Although the virus is spreading quicker now, some 6300 I believe, the stats do show its not quite the killer it was made out to be. Time will tell.

Lets keep our fingers crossed!

At work we have just been issued with anti-bacterial sprays for our hands as we go around using a lot of different computers.
