Has any-one ski'd in Sweden or ever considered it? I am being drawn to it for some reason.

Congratulations on your new job. But I must say, working in a ski resort does sound very tempting!

Thanks, believe me we have seriously considered it, but at the moment my parents are not in the best of health so feel we should to stay close to home. But one day.

Yes the side effects of Tamiflu, nausea, vomiting, confusion, the trots. Also monitoring of any unusual behaviour :shock:

I would say I am not afraid of heights but can never look over the edge. I am happy at the top of a mountain looking down on villages etc but can not walk over to the edge and look down. Same as on a plane I never have a window seat I cant look down. I can walk along high bridges even swinging ones but if the bridge has gaps in it cant do it.

As a Diabetic I have to take precautions the last thing I want to sound like is a victim but I have to be careful with flu hence the yearly flu jab I have. :shock: :shock:

I guess you will be high on the agenda as soon as they get the vaccine sorted. I know how you feel, as my OH is also diabetic and although he's fit and healthy, I worry if he does catch it then it could be nasty. Still, there's not much that we can do about it. :(

Tony - hope your son feels better soon.

As I understand when the vaccine becomes available there will be enough for the entire population, I imagine every-one will be offered one, giving the 'at risk' people first. The more people that have one the better it will be a combating the spread. It was predicted to be available by August.

Have you considered any of The Lapland resorts, most romantic place I know. But unfortunately pricey at that time of year.

I had been working with a colleague with it as well. Its worrying a few people at work in case they get it, but its no good worrying. You can only take sensible precautions and if you get it, you get it. But the biggest problem is people who think they have it will just not isolate themselves for a few days. They go into surgery,s, chemists and shops. If only they would stay away for a few days it would not spread so much. In my line of work its important we keep going as we supply so many other essential services. In China they are probably going a bit overboard, but they had to really as they got slated for the way they dealt with Bird flu, they are having to be more cautious. Tamiflu will only help you if you actually have symptoms. At the moment any one person in this country is allowed ONE course of tamiflu, no more so you need to use your ONE course wisely. Hope your Son is okay Tony.

Is it at the medical centre in Niederau?

No unfortunately its still in this country, but its what I have wanted ever since I heard about it. Maybe in a couple of years time :lol:
