My aged mother-in-law has travelled to see us and brought a cold which I now have. It seems like a cold but is it Swine Flu?
Checking on the NHS website it says;
If you or a member of your family has a fever or high temperature (over 38°C/100.4°F) and two or more of the following symptoms, you may have swine flu:
- unusual tiredness,
- headache,
- runny nose,
- sore throat,
- shortness of breath or cough,
- loss of appetite,
- aching muscles,
- diarrhoea or vomiting.
I feel hot and have a runny nose, a bit of a sore throat and a bit of a headache. But it feels like what I’ve always thought a Cold. Is it that I always had Swine Flu? Can I be arrested for continuing life as normal without asking for free Tamiflu? If I was at school or work maybe I’dtake a sick day although I probably only had a couple of months off in nearly 40 years of work so probably not. It’s a Cold anyway and not even a bad one.
