When the swine flu first kicked off in May, someone that I worked with (well, to get technical, he interviewed me for my current job) were heading off to Mexico for a three week backpacking holiday. Obviously we were all slightly concerned at work that he’ll be laid up in some rural hospital somewhere in Mexico..seeing that at that time not much was known about the swine flu and WHO was still trying to contain it ect ect.
Three weeks passed, and in early June he was back at work, completely unharmed and being his usual happy self. He even mentioned that he was gutted that he wasn’t quarantined, which would have meant two weeks extra hols on house arrest.He had a great time in Mexico and was totally oblivious to the swine flu pandemic panic that swept the world.
Fast forward two months later, he’s actually quarantined at home with swine flu. Caught in the UK. There is just no running away from fate sometimes

Like if you actually had the symptoms you wouldn’t even think about swine flu…which is very dangerous if you have actual exposure.
