I understand it was a horrible experience for you both and would hate for it to be a regular occurrence.
I'm not sure about when you say think very carefully about what you are going to do - if someone is struggling to breathe they need medical assistance and if government policy is that those with swine flu symptoms need to go to Sanglah, then that's what has to happen.
15 July - was this around the time when a few Aussies had arrived not well and had gone straight to hospital? Maybe that is why it was newsworthy?
What worries me is people who have cold taking their germs to Bali - I am not referring to your husband, just tourists in general. Are the balinese similar to our indigenous population in being more susceptible to this flu? I hope not
