Eeep! →[More:]
I got home from work yesterday to a phone message asking me to call - as a matter of urgency - the Regional Flu Centre.

I returned the call this morning, and after taking some details, the woman called me back to tell me that someone on my flight last week has now got swine flu. Both she and I think there's nothing to worry about as it's ten days since I got back and I'm feeling fine.

But now I'm experiencing psychosomatic symptoms of sore throat, headache and lethargy.

Eeep!

That is pretty efficient, you have to admit.

What do they know -- they're just experts in the regional flu.

Whether or not you have a fever would be the telling thing. It's hard to imagine raising your body temp up to over 100 F (what is it in Celsius, and do you read it in F or C?).

Good luck, jan.

I'd have some bacon just to be on the safe side....

(Seriously, the flu comes out of nowhere and hits ya like a freight train from hell. I think you are gonna be fine.)

Are you feeling more equal than other barnyard animals lately?

We had outbreaks in our city, they closed the school where my wife works and yeah, we all had those symptoms too!
