Swine Flu

Dave and I are in the process of recovering from a bout of Swine Flu and I thought I would tell you how it had affected us in case it might help others. As a lot of you know Dave is currently working in Edinburgh on contract and comes home every other weekend. He came home at the end of September and we manned a stall selling lifeboat souvenirs at a conference at our local theatre. During that weekend Dave commented once or twice that he felt as though he had a cold coming and to be fair, I didn't take much notice of him, as he often says that and it comes to nothing. You know what men are like for suffering! LOL! By the Sunday evening he ...  Read the complete review

Its important to be well aware of the swine flu and a potential outbreak but not to panic. You need to take precautions to maintain a clean environment and try to minimize your chances of getting sick with very basic, common sense activities. I'm always watching CNN and it seems almost daily now that they're interviewing someone from the Center for Disease Control or reporting on various states setting rules to determine how many cases of swine flu are required to shut a school down, where people can get vaccinated and so on. It is very unsettling to think about. Realistically, the regular flu seems to pose a bigger threat to people since more have ...  Read the complete review

For about two months, the UK went mad. People on the underground were donning masks and not touching anything, a hotline was set up for swine flu that was so busy it was always engaged, and even I, whilst doing some food shopping whilst looking very healthy, had to sneezed because of a tickle in my nose, and it sent the shopper I was next to running away from me, worried I would infect her. Thank god it's over now! I mean for heaven's sake, how much did the media want to send fear into the country? For a second I thought we were in America! Swine flu covered headlines in Newspapers and sent 'Breaking News' bulletins across British TV stations. We ...  Read the complete review

Now you will probably here a lot of stories in the news about the widespread outbreak of Swine Flu also known as the influenza A virus subtype H1N1, which has caused mass media hysteria for some months now. Now many people may have or may be in the process of writing a review about Swine Flu, but for me i feel as if i should be compelled to write a review, because i am currently at the end cycle of suffering from swine flu, something which i have been suffering for nearly two weeks now. I hope to provide as much information as physically possible, as well as share my experiences regarding the flu. Why? Well because i no just how powerful this nasty flu can be, and my aim ...  Read the complete review

AHHH! The dreaded pig flu! Nothing to shrug your shoulders at but the media hype is getting slightly ridiculous. Well the swine flu has made its way round our house and let me be the first to tell you it's not the plague! Obviously I understand that those out there with underlining health issues, the elderly and people along those lines do indeed have a need to worry as with any other type of flu or illness alike but I thought I would share the experiences had by a normally healthy household that were hit by the piggy flu. I haven't a clue where we got it from but saying that it could have come from anywhere so no point investigating. The first ...  Read the complete review
