AntwortenLöschenThis is very interesting, thanks Randy. And of course the wider topic is even more so... are they anywhere near a vaccine for Swine Flu / HN51 etc, yet?
AntwortenLöschenWhen I have full-on feverish muscle-spasm can't-breathe Man-flu, I might go sick... otherwise I just do a couple of 24 hour lemsip capsules and go to work anyway. If I look that bad they want to send me home, fine by me. But it looks a lot better turning up and soldiering on, than always taking days off. Besides, saves those days for when you need a day off but aren't actually sick... :)
That said, my job is quite physical, warehouse-oriented and it soon shakes up the lungs, even if it burns. I wouldn't want to go work in an office, answering phones and greeting clients, in that state. No way.
