Swine flew cattle class

Speaking as someone who flew in from America last week - and is currently threatening to cough in the general direction of anyone who annoys him in the office - do we really expect coralling people straight off long-haul flights and grilling them as to whether they're experiencing fatigue or aches and pains to be a particularly useful exercise?

depends on skin colour.

Well, if you have flu-like symptoms in the next 10 days (the incubation period of the virus), get thee to a clinic to be ckecked out, unless you feel the risk of being thought 'uncool' is more important than your own and others' health.

I agree though that corralling people off long-halul flights is not likely to be useful in this situation; has this been suggested seriously?

Thanks for the advice Bill. Unfortunately I'll be too busy fucking bareback and sharing needles to get to a clinic any time soon - but don't you worry, my clothes will be impeccably on-trend throughout!

Do drop by again. You seem to have really caught on to the spirit of this blog...

Shurley it's easy to check for swine flu: just look for rashers?
