    Swine flu latest

    The local gym has placed hand wash bottles at the entrance gates as a preventative against swine flu. It's only a matter of time before we will have to wade through cattle grids filled with neurotoxins and don biohazard suits.

    Everyone here seems to have a mild flu - me included. Sore throat - Cough - Tired - better.
    My theory is that it is very mild and spreads quickly, which fits with the spread in and from Mexico.
    It could then mutate a la Spanish flu but WHO knows.
    Bored.

          What’s with all the hand disinfectants if the great Swine anticlimax is spread by sneezing and coughing?
          And what exactly is wrong with an "ad hominem" argument? Dodgy Agent, 16-5-2014

            Sneeze on hand, touch a railing, next 100 people that touch railing get it. In theory.

              Does it pass through skin?

                Rub your eyes, pick your nose, touch food. Virus will also thrive on warm sweaty hands.

                  Client has hand spray and disinfectant wipes - issued to all staff.

                  Any extreme pandemic policies? I heard Daily Mail employees have all been given Tamiflu courses already. Another co I know of is stipulating employees work from home if anyone in their (home) vicinity is confirmed as having Swine Flu - and if anyone comes to work with it, all employees in that building will have to work from home. For 7 days I believe.

                    So Gordon will spread it to all of the Labour cabinet! Excellent news.
