AIBU to not want our friend to stay with us because of swine flu???

[FearOfThePig]

He is flying from Australia with a stop-over in LA.
We have a 2 week old baby

'i don't believe aeroplanes can stay up.'

Well, they might not now the meeja's got everyone in a tizzy over this and Al-Queda decides it might be a good time to strike now the eye's off the ball.

[runs and ducks]

Have you taken your newborn out in the car yet? There's far more danger in doing that than there is in contracting swine flu.

Sorry, but you are being v unreasonable.

It's the aporkalypse acc to Jim Naughtie

i would be exactly the same, i am a born worrier who overreacts
not even sure if they r allwoewing international flights so he may not get over here
congrats on baby by the way

We are in fact being allowed to leave australia Mo3 - see my link before, for lurid airport pictures of thermal imaging to protect the rest of the world.

Well you probably are overreacting but I suppose I can see why. Could you ask your friend to stay in a B&B rather than actually with you? No point in getting stressed out.

Ah that's better. I feel, hmm, within the zeitgeist.

i too would be worried,
congrats btw

Jim Naughtie has nicked that from me [shock!]

You are NBU - just a bit over protective which is totally totally normal. I would eb the same. People quite often pick things up on long haul flights - I wouldn't be having him to stay either until he had been back a few days - whether there was piggie flu about or not.

YABU and completly overreacting.

Aw, it's normal to be like that with a tiny baby, I remember being convinced that my mate was going to steal my dd lol.

If you are really that concerned then just make sure you and all the other adults wash your hands before picking up baby.

"I don't believe in international travel"

"I don't believe aeroplanes can stay up"

Call me picky but... I'm suspecting you're not really a flight attendant at all are you?

I think the swine flu threads on here have given us some of the best names and wit we have ever had on mumsnet lol. How very very British!

LOL Josie!

er- no. I am far too glamorous, polite and beautiful to even consider it.
