Sorry off topic but it is regional...

A few cases on my floor at work in the City.
Heard some guys on the train last week saying that it was 'all over Rayleigh'

It's has got to rip through public transport, schools etc - what are people seeing?

Well I've just recovered from a heavy bout of flu a couple of weeks ago and now I've got a cold again.

I haven't seen many pigs in London or my little corner of Kent, so I can only assume they've already succumbed...

I ride the Central Line every day.

As a result, I have a persistent sniffle, pretty much permanently...

We've got a few of out telephone staff off at the moment with "swine flu" but you can never be sure with that lot. I'm over in Bas-Vegas.

It's having quite a large impact at my place of work, lots of folk being sent home with it. Managers are starting to flap a bit and got the emergency continuity plans out last week to "refresh their memories".....

It's too easy - Nice sunny day - make a couple of Oinking noises, complain of a temperature: Bingo! Sent home for 2 weeks despite your protestations about it probably only being a cold and how you hoped to get the Employee of the Month award etc etc

I live in Rayleigh, and there have been odd confirmed cases at both of my kids' schools!

I work in a few schools and pretty much every one I go to has had at least 1 case. Septembers are always bad for catching amy bugs going round as all the kids come back so I think it will explode frown Mind you, if they close the schools I won't be earning frown
