and caught swine flu. There is no control over it, & I sure the actual number of people with swine flu is much higher than reported. I had contact with one sick person in my office who had just returned from Sydney, & came to work sick. He went to the Doctor & was told he didn't have swine flu, and wasn't tested for it.
My Doctor was suspicious of my symptoms & put me on Tamiflu & antibiotics and it took 8 days for the test to come back positive.
I self imposed myself to quarantine at home, but seriously I was so sick for a few days that my husband thought I had pneumonia. Strangely my husband didn't get it, or anyone else at work.
This virus is not to be taken lightly, and I would have felt absolutely devastated if I had passed it on to someone else, especially the elderly or very young.
Please encourage everyone you know, or work with, to stay home if they are not well.
