Re: Wednesday Open Thread (none / 1)

Sorry, that was a facetious remark. Current advice is that anyone with flu type symptoms should stay at home and call their doctor or NHS Direct for advice. On no account should they go to their doctor's surgery.

Re: Wednesday Open Thread (none / 1)

There was an article about swine flu procedures in Helsingin Sanomat today. The doctor interviewed was saying that he hoped that employers would no longer ask everyone who gets sick to get a note from the doctor. If everyone has to go to their health center before being able to take any sick leave, the flu will spread even faster.

(Normally you need a note either right away or after 3 days of illness, depending on your employment contract.)

You have a normal feeling for a moment, then it passes. --More--
