a lad i work with went home today with the symptons

I am on day 6 of being in quarantine with it and only just starting to feel slightly normal - horrible thing but no worse than "normal" flu

Ive heard of a few people with it
Get well soon

Get well soon mike!!!
There's been cases at my lads nursery, seems to be rife in warrington at the mo!!!

my mates daughter has it

Mate of mine in Runcorn has it.

Dont want to cause a panic but what would happen if someone for example goes to a rugby match with it? Whats the chances of getting it?

Which surely it is, flu.

What? He went home with Homer, Marge, Lisa, Bart and Maggie?

I am guessing as they are telling people with it not to go out at all that it is believed it would spread pretty quickly - I missed the game on Saturday primarily because I wasn't well enough to go but also because I wasn't allowed to go out.

The way it is spreading now shows how quickly it can be passed on.

Some of the symptoms are different to those of "normal" flu and it seems they are the ones they look for mainly when diagnosing it. My point was its probably not something to panic about in the way that the media were making out when it first was being spoken about (that said I wouldn't want it again and I wouldn't wish it on anyone, but I wouldn't "normal" flu either!)

My Dad Has it also.

Has to stay in for 4 days.

According to the statistics it is no worse, indeed has much has much lesser symptoms, and much lower mortality rate, than seasonal influenza.

Having said that I hope anyone affected has a swift recovery.

two people i work with had it. One absolutely fine no worse than normal flu. The other one still in intensive care.

the key thing appears to be the temperauture if you have a really high temperature and cannot get it down or have breathing difficulties get urgent medical attention.

How specific do you want him to be ? Like, he recalls somebody sneezing in Phones4You last week, at the time he thought nothing of it, but now, putting two & two together, it was either that or the woman who handed over his Tuna Crunch in Greggs.
