I am a regular but have namechanged obviously.
I was diagnosed a few days ago, over the phone.
I have followed all the guidelines, have isolated myself from society etc, so I am not out there spreading the virus, if it is in fact swine flu which really can never be certain without a test.
But when people have asked I have told them that it's just a heavy cold.
Because really I don't wish to be stigmatised by the label of having had swine flu. I've seen this happen to other people, where children have been uninvited to parties etc because they have had swine flu, and even though they've recovered people haven't wanted to be anywhere near them.
I don't feel telling people serves any purpose.
I am not putting people at risk.
So ibu?
