The Great Swine Flu Panic!!!

Well i'm sitting here this morning looking after my son who has got the worst case of swine flu known to man!!
Actually he hasnt imo,but all the hype has led us to believe that he had,let me explain.......
All over the weekend he had complained of a headache,sore throat,tiredness etc (and his temperature is nearly 40 degrees so we do realise he is unwell) so yesterday morning my wife phones the docs & explains his symptoms. The receptionist (coz you cant get past her,she knows best!!) tells wifey....'DO NOT BRING HIM DOWN HERE' but to get on the NHS 'swine flu advisory' website as our boy has clearly been struck down with this terrible disease. We obv do this and his symptoms tick all the boxes. We then get an authorisation number on line so i hot foot it to the local chemist to pick up his Tamiflu.
Obviously they do exactly what it says on the tin and he spukes 30 minutes after taking them!!!
So onto this morning and he wakes up as if nothing has happened,his temperature has dropped to normal & his ailments have all but disappeared.
Now obv we dont want our kids to suffer & will do anything to make them better but this swine flu 'pandemic' is a load of bollox if you ask me.
Two years ago my son would have gone to the doctors,been prescribed Calpol and told he had a bit of flu......But now it's Swine Flu & everyone panics,when my wife went into his school with my daughter and told the secretary that our son was absent because he 'might' have Swine Flu,the other mums in the office actually backed away!!! It was as if she had mentioned contracting a new outbreak of the Black Death!!
I only wish i had shares in the company that manufactures Tamiflu,they must be laughing their fucking tits off!!
So thats that then,glgl on the tarbs,thanks for your previous comments and next post might contain a bit of poker......unless I catch Swine Flu,in which case i will be milking it for all its worth!!!!!!! later. Smoothplz.
