Oh my — I was just on the tube a couple of weeks ago and couldn’t breathe down there it was so hot and crammed! Picture me with 3 kids, 2 suitcases and a buggy. The thought of swine flu did cross my mind several times!

Stay well!

Fingers crossed for you too – we’re some of the only ones who haven’t got it yet!

Oh phew – I thought this was going to be a post saying you’d got it!!

Still clear here, too… although a day on trains & tube & in Guildhall with over 500 people probably increased my chances of getting it

I don’t even know where I’d get a mask from in the first place (unless you count the boy’s spiderman one!). I’m surprised I wasn’t one of the first to get it, seeing as I usually come down with every little bug that does the rounds. Maybe I’ve built up some freaky immunity to the whole thing.

I still feel that if you wore a mask it would help but do realise that no one else in the UK seems to. When I lived in Japan, it was expected that if you had cold/cough symptoms you would wear a mask. Freaked me out initially but you soon got used to it. Quite civilized when you think about it.

The tube is so dirty in London. And they never properly clean it. Sure, the tube refuse collectors collect litter, but they do not CLEAN the tube itself, the hand rails and all those communal areas that have been touched by hundreds and hundreds of people each day. So it’s no wonder it spreads so fast.

As if scabies wasn’t nasty enough in the first place.

This reminds me of a time when I got scabes from an inmate. I had to get a prescription shampoo to get rid of the little buggers. My wife was bummed too, since she had to wash everything in sight. As for work, the promised me administrative leave only to backout on that promise. Something about my having to prove that the scabes came from inside the prison. I hope you stay healthy, and if need be, stay home.
