Here in Victoria we seem to be getting more cases of this Flu, one wonders why?

maybe because it's colder and everyone already has some type of cold..

You don't get a "cold" by being cold. Though lower body heat can mean a weaker immune system. I fiiiiiiiiiink.

Girl at work had Swine Flu and off all last week but back today.
We got emailed an update from some Dept and basically said Swine Flu was now only moderate so it hasnt turned into the big bad flu ( yet ) and just said to stay home.
One guy who sits next to me is off an his Dr tested him and shoved him on Tamiflu
but another girl told her Dr about the cases and said they are not even bothering to test people now.

*sniffle*
the doctor i saw offered me Tamiflu but only if telfast and antibiotics didn't work

You're most likely to catch flu if you wipe your eyes or put your fingers near your mouth after someone has coughed/sneezed around you & you didn't wash your hands.
Wash your hands thoroughly throughout the day, get sleep & eat lots of vegetables, fruit, chicken soup...

and don't make out with pigs, mexicans and victorians

My boss's husband has just been confirmed to have the swine.

And she's gone home sick today.

Not necessarily.

Just keep an eye out for symptoms really, and don't panic if you see any, just see your doc
