Atishoo – swine flu!

chris is NOT WELL, even I, one of the most illhusbandaverse people in the world can see this. And to day – in my absence [rofl at the idea that he was scared i would roll my eyes lots!] – he accessed the nhs site which duly pronounced that as cough and high temp it must be swine flu, and a tamiflu number issued. i quite enjoyed picking up the tamiflu. i went to a huge gp centre [a nearly darzi] and there was a chemist there, so i assumed wrongly and went in. i was quickly escorted out and told i needed to sit on green chair on the end of a corridor on the left. oookayyyyyyy. so with leper bell ringing, i found green seat, near open door. so peered thru and asked if i could come in. there were 3 v v bored people – prob on facebook! – with laptops open and infront of them stacks of leafelts, and behind huge boxes of tamiflu with the doses in a label on the front. oh and lots of alcohol hand gel!! they are obviously set up for an inundation, as there are also mask boxes. poor things must be bored out of their brains! we were number 7 on their list – 7 today? 7 all week?? had no husband id, but the man in charge wasn’t bothered, as he said, why would i bother coming otherwise. so left, with those magical tablets in hand. there is apparently concern that people might stockpile for avian flu. i don’t think we need to worry, this country on today’s inspection seems to have a tamiflu mountain! anyway, husband refused to let me secrete them away in case of avain flu, and took them instead. honestly!! :roll: :lol: hopefully he will start to feel better, as also liberally dosed with nurofen and paracetamol.

  1. Its not being issued in Scotland any more. H didn’t get it for hers. Apparently now we are out of containment there is little point?? Dunno. Hannah felt ill for about 4 days but is still wabbit, tho better. Hope Chris better soon.

  2. well, TBH, i would be hoarding not taking, but not the ill one!!

  3. Lol. Well actually that had been my plan as well, had we got it.

  4. And you clearly much more libertarian than me. No one in this house allowed a spoonful of piriton without my personal approval. In triplicate.

  5. well, he did access the website whilst i was at work…

  6. I’m getting achy glands. If we get it, i think i will get and hoard as def don’t fancy either taking or giving to kids.

  7. aargh, i am really hoping not. TBH, find it hard to believe sb might have had swine flu, as actually she wasn’t *that* unwell. but will say ok a poss. really hoping haven’t passed it on.

  8. Tim is convinced I had it at about the same time as him as I was off colour for a couple of days. I’m not as convinced.

    I don’t think you can worry about passing it on, it’s just one of those things, and it’s not like pox where you can see whether or not you’ve got it! Surprised that Chris wants to take tamiflu tbh, Tim turned it down, and I’m fairly sure his was flu.

  9. Except at work of course – will they quarantine you because of Chris?

  10. only if i have some symptoms. i have a cough and a mod temp and a mild headache. i feel ‘viral’ but not fluey – up to them
