'Big drop in new swine flu cases'...erm...not in my house!!

So typically just as the BBC announces that swine flu cases in Britain are dropping...i get swine flu. After all my ranting about "oh it's only a cold, why is everyone so worried?" it is my turn to face my mortality as i get this dreaded virus. Well so far i'm surviving...just. OK, that's me exaggerating a bit but i have definitely not felt this bad in a very long time. Past three days i have more or less been hiding in bed with the lights off trying not to throw up and cursing every loud noise for sending a shudder of pain through my head. I think i'm reaching the end of it but it's been four days and i have definitely had enough!

So now i totally sympathise with everyone else who has suffered through this and i take it back - it's much more than a trifling cold! So please, karma...make me well again!

"Meanwhile, the World Health Organization has announced that the first swine flu vaccines are likely to be licensed for use in the general population in September."
...typical!
