Reporting from Racoon City

Lindsay has joined the national statistics of people being treated for Pandemic Flu. This means she has to be isolated at home for 10 days

Oh dear. I'd heard it was at Keoghs at the Reebok. Let us know if you're both poorly and need shopping or anything!!

And get well soon Lins.

Keoghs eh? I know a guy who works there, but it'd be a bit cheeky to ring up and ask them if they've got swine flu, wouldn't it?

All the same, if it's true that's much closer to Nook's work, and he's itching for the enforced quarantine!

Enforced paid quarantine leave

D right!

[si_lloyd]

I think we're in a slightly different area.

Oh poor Lins! (Get Well Soon Lins!) And you make sure you look after yourself too!

[sarahlascelles]

Why couldnt you collect the tamiflu?

[anne_l_davies]

Some sort of 'Guidelines' from what I can gather - it was of course, absolutely fine for Si, who may at least be a carrier, to come to my office, interact with my colleagues, and sit in my car outside the drug centre whilst I went in!

[si_lloyd]

Apparently its about keeping 2 degrees of seperation between the isolated person and the centre.

Of course, I am free to do anything else, including work with kids! Unless my school tell me to go home...

A lot of this is all about being seen to be doing something to contain the pandemic, even though the Government has oficially abandoned their containment policy. In other words, hypocrisy and double standards to pacify a panicing populace.

PS: take care of both of you, hope she feels better soon. This means she gets to blow off the diet you know :-)

[renniek]

Hope she gets well soon
...and yes, the paranoia is incredible. I think most people don't realise how many die from normal flu each year
