Maybe! I heard the Radio 4 report about how it was so possible to do this.

Personally I think it is ridiculous that a diagnosis of something so serious could be made over the phone!

I could LIE and get a medical certificate for work.

Except, I'm self employed so can't do that one!

Japan banned the prescribing of tamiflu for children 10-17 after serious side effects. I'd stick with the natural star anise which has been used for centurys. I havent stockpiled but over the last couple of years I've made sure I've got enough before Roche (Pharmy) clear out the world supply, 90% there buying, which Ive already put up on the swine flu thread.

Just wondering... Ive never really been the sort to skyve off work so I'm probably being naive. If one *did* pretend to get 'flu to get the medical certificate for a week in front of the telly, surely one would have to be quite sure of ones own immunity?


I would have thought that if someone skyved for a week, and then *really* got the bug and had to take another week off later in the year, the employer might start becoming a bit suspicious. If I were an HR manager (perish the thought) I might be planning to spend some time next year combing the employee sickness records to see who had takn multiple flu sickies over the pandemic period as a way of knowing which employees to keep tabs on in future.

I have also been worried about this but for a slightly different reason. I did have a week off about a month ago because I had some kind of flu but I was never tested so I don't know if it was the swine variety or not but given the season it seems likely. My boss has decided that i did have swine flu but now i'm worried that if it wasn't and i do get it he'll think I lied last time. But... someone said that if it mutates enough then in time it's possible you'll catch it again anyway. Confusing.

    • Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145
    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
