I'm going to Madagascar first thing if I get it.

I wasn't aware that the swine flu could also cause brain damage.

HOLY farking shiate. It's a farking flu, not goddamn ebola virus or the black plague. Stupid biatch should stop crying and send her neighbors pipe bombs.

had contact with that you winner is not

I had it. Got it from a runny nosed tourist kid. I gave it to at least five other people.

But Bentley said others, including a pharmacist and a cashier at a local drug store she frequented, were dismissive when she informed them she may have the virus, telling her to leave the premises immediately.

"I was treated so horribly, I was put to tears," said Bentley, who moved here from New Brunswick over a year ago.

"It was just humiliating."

EDUCATE PUBLIC

Even though the swine flu has dominated news headlines for months now, Bentley hopes her story may help educate the public and ease some of the hysteria around it.

Dr. Gerry Predy, Alberta medical officer of health, said while the number of confirmed cases in Alberta exceeded 1,000 as of yesterday -- with at least 40 new cases in Edmonton and area, bringing the city's total to 571 -- there is no cause for panic and that people should continue taking the proper steps to prevent the spread of the virus.

"If you think you have the flu, stay home, don't go to work or send your kids to camp and don't visit people in the hospital," Predy said.

Mkay, and the point of this article is?

The biatch can't leave her house, she has to complain to someone!

Nocens: I had it. Got it from a runny nosed tourist kid. I gave it to at least five other people.

I'm jealous, Nocens. Whatever else happens in your life (or doesn't happen), you've participated in a pandemic. Good on ya, mate.

What's a flu fap?

People she had private contact with were supportive. This is fine.

But when those who work in public stores and are responsible for the safety of their customers from diseases, especially ones they know are present and dangerous, including one who works in a pharmacy where the customers are often more susceptible to diseases, ask a known source of one such disease to leave the store... this is shocking and appalling?

If you can dodge a flying pig, you can dodge a wrench!

Hell yes, those sick days are for important things like concerts, surfing, etc...

The public stores now, well when you make minimum wage you can't afford to take a day off because you've got the sniffles and a 105 fever.

Umm. I think the point was that if the pharmacist contracts it, there's a good chance that he'll pass it on to other people. Those people are much more likely to be sick, and could very well die.

Also, pharmacists don't make minimum wage.

My daughter's next door neighbour's youngest was sent home from school in Sheffield with swine flu a week and a half ago.

Did we care? Hell, no.

A couple of days later, we flew to Ireland and watched AC/DC at Punchestown Racecourse amongst a crowd of 70,000.

Ha ha haaaaaa-chooo!!!

If the swine flu death toll rises astronomically in Western Europe over the next couple of weeks, you know who to blame - and I don't give a fark.
