Did anyone else get swine flu during that outbreak?

As an asthmatic who has just had major surgery, i am absolutely bricking myself!

When we had the swine flu outbreak one of my colleagues came to work with it and passed it on to the whole team despite them saying that any sickness would not be counted for targets.

It was quite frankly very scary. I had to go to a hospital and they wouldn't let me in the building. A nurse came out with a mask to the outdoor seating area and gave me some Tamiflu. I was really struggling to breathe.

Sadly know someone who died from it (young, no underlying health conditions)

Horrible.

No I actually dodged that one.

No I didn’t have it but my mom (who is an nhs receptionist) was drafted in to run extra clinics. She would have to wear protective clothing and go through security to get in and out of the building.

My DH’s best friend has a new partner and she told us the other day that she had swine flu, and it’s left her with vertigo.
