Anyone on here had it, or know of someone that has, if so whats it like, does it absolutley cane you or is this going to be over hyped as usual by the media? Some people are organising swine flu parties so they get it and build up a bit of immunity before the backend. I read somewhere that the last major pandemic set off mild then changed into something nasty .

I think JDkid has had it - flu that is Probably better to get it over before winter when I suppose it might be worse - but then we were threatened with Sars recently - so who knows. Actually I believe WHO does know - a lot more than the media tell us. See Burkie's post on BFF and also on the forum of farmtalking.com

There are, apparently, two unconfirmed cases in our village...one at the pre-school playgroup & one at the secondary school! Neither the infant or teenager have been to the doctor? So I can only assume that these will remain unconfirmed cases??

We are one of the areas that have got so many cases, surgeries have a notice on entrance door with a list of symptoms, then it gives you NHS Direct's phone number, and tells you not to enter

I try and avoid both like the plague at the best of times - nearly always come away with more than I went in with.
