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.

    • Just a review for Andy. I have now used him for various jobs for 5 years or so. An absolute and complete star. Always goes above and beyond, never cuts a corner, and always prices incredibly fairly. If you need a handyman...he is your man. Could not recommend more highly.
    • Don’t know about cafes but the Victoria and Montpelier pubs always have always encouraged people working during the day.
    • Thank you Saied for the amazing work! I will see you in a few months.
    • If you care about the decline in the swift population please support the lovely Hannah Bourne-Taylor in her campaign to mandate 'swift bricks' in all new properties   From her website: What are swift bricks? Zero maintenance and sustainable, swift bricks are bricks that sit flush to the wall that provide a cavity nesting habitat for swifts and other cavity nesting birds. Surveys show species include House martins, starlings, House sparrows, nuthatch, blue tit, coal tit and wren. Why swift bricks are urgently and uniquely essential Without swift bricks there is no guaranteed nesting habitat for birds reliant on building cavities anywhere in the UK – and there never will be. We are inadvertently destroying their oldcavity nesting sites through renovation, demolition and insulation, while climate mitigation measures mean modern buildings will never provide natural homes for birds. https://hannahbournetaylor.com/ Don't be such a pompous bore. She is doing something to improve the world around us, what does it matter what social class she is from? The despicable Michael Gove offered support then did nothing. The current government, despite supposed concern for the environment, also failed to support the campaign. She took the trouble to write back to me when I asked a question. But carry on poking fun at honourable people while our surroundings decay.
