Mindee's Mum rang this morning to say my 3 1/2 year old mindee's Dad (who is a GP) has had suspected swine flu for a few days. He is at home and recovering from it but she wondered if mindee would still be able to come.
As mindee has no symptoms and neither has Mum or brother and sister I said just bring her. The advice is that if they don't have symptoms it is ok. She is my only mindee on Fridays. Mum works as a physiotherapist in the local hospital and she went off to work this morning too!
I think it just a matter of time til we all get it and unless you stay at home and have no contact with anyone there is no way to avoid it. You pick it up anywhere there are people - tesco's, schools etc.
Apparently mindee's Dad said that alot of people will have such mild symptoms they don't even realise it was swine flu and can pass it on. Personally I had a bad cough last weekend and a sore throat but no temperature/fever or aches but have had a headache this week. It makes me wonder if I have had it....
