It's not very wide-spread here Floffe Send a noteboard - 28/10/2009 09:17:20 AM
Also, what about walking my pup? Is that okay as long as I don't talk to people?

That should be fine, it doesn't really spread outdoors unless you cough on people.
1. Have you had swine flu? What was it like for you? (Symptoms, duration.)

Nope
2. Do you know anyone who has?

Not IRL.
3. Is your local community being affected? What measures are they taking now?

Vaccinations have started now, risk groups and kids first, then the rest of us will get it from late November.

Edit: The local newspaper reports today that 5 people on the island (population ~55k) have gotten it, 3 of those were in the summer. So not very much at all here, yet.
4. Have you ever been quarantined for any reason? What was it? How did you amuse yourself in the meantime?

Nope
5. Are you nervous about swine flu, or do you still think it's been overblown?

The main risks they're talking about here in the West is probably the hit to the economy, there'll be a whole shitload of working hours lost if 50% of the population gets sick. Fatality-wise it seems no wrose than the regular flu.

I suspect that working at a hospital gives you a rather biased sample of the populace. *NM* - 29/10/2009 12:16:16 AM 165 Views
