Mate, the whole QLD Team could be struck down with it and still beat your lot by 20 :razz:

Henno, get your missus to wear a nursey outfit and look after you.

Oh no...hope TTR skips this thread.:)

If it's any consolation, I'm at home with the stinking flu also. http://www.steeleraddicts.com/forum/images/smilies/greensick.gif

[henno]

Feeling better already.

[PeteyD]

Oooohhh there goes the heart ...

[adlo]

Late reaction, but forget to say yesterday. Henno, that was

[adlo]

Dunno, I have to say I would be wary of anywhere so dependant on air con as an airport or plane.

I'm glad I don't work in an office either.

Do it, wear a mask.

[sms316]

When the SARS epidemic went through Asia, one of our high-end managers decided to take action in case it spread to Canberra.

Now I have 5000 of the bloody things in my asset cage.

[Bruce]

I'm off to LA in the morning and we are packing some facemasks. I don't think I will wear one but I will be washing my hands like an OCD sufferer and mercilessly shunning anyone with a sniffle.

And SMS - that link in your sig is poor darts and should be removed.

Henno, I hope you feel better soon. I've had the flu for some 4 weeks now. Can't seem to shake it off. Perhaps I should buy a nurse lingerie for the missus. :lol:

[Moe Norman]

I have my own theory on this one Henno

[kev]

Serious question..and probably a tad woosey.
If you were going thru an airport in the next few days would you don a face mask ?...and no its not for ugliness.

Apparently their effectiveness is uncertain (http://www.theage.com.au/national/face-masks-do-they-work-20090430-aojq.html?page=-1).

[zigwah]

I hope this doesn't explode before i get to tassie, sounded pretty serious on the telly tonight.

[chappy1970]

Even our childhood favorites are concerned!!!
Not sure whether this needs to be censored...

[Bruce]

There was a nurses station setup at arrivals in Aukland. Anyone feeling unwell was asked to stop in get some assessment. Looked totally half arsed with a security guard, a nurse and mobile screen.

Almost nothing at LAX. Saw a couple of asian arrivals with facemasks wandering around the terminal but that was it.

[chappy1970]

Bruce, Sure it wasn't Michael Jackson

[Jarro]

All the Quarantine workers at Brissy International are greeting flights wearing masks.

And no, it's not because they are all pig ugly :roll:

[AndyP]

Disgraceful media hype on this. First they tell us how bad the "epidemic" is, then they tell us that we "panicking". :roll:

[Ned]

QHealth have activated a Swine Flu Responce Contigency.

Have seconded staff from all over the State in major centres.

[TheTrueReview]

I don't know about this swine flu hoo-hah but I've been trying to get over the ordinary flu for the last 7 days. Still not right, so I'll have to cancel my game for tomorrow morning (Labour day). Not happy Jan.

[Dazza]

I flew out from Cairns to Darwin on Friday and no sign of anything out of the ordinary, was an international flight too. One lady from Japan had a mask on, but I think that was because she contracted the flu here & didn't want it to spread.
Mind you, Jetstar couldn't even tell us that our flight was delayed by 1hr 15! I've got no issue with being delayed, but at least let everyone know.
We were waiting at the gate at about 10.30 am and all of a sudden the plane was being towed away! First I knew anything had happened was the news report I saw on the TV in the terminal newsagent.
http://news.brisbanetimes.com.au/breaking-news-national/jetstar-jet-returns-to-cairns-after-leak-20090501-api6.html

Came back in yesterday, was greeted by 4 people in overalls gumboots & masks. Also an announcement made over the P.A system on the plane to report to flight crew should you show any symptoms.
Even got put through the thermal scanner. Tried to save a fart up for it, but the line was too long & I didn't make it in time.

[Scottt]

The masks are only useful if changed every 5-10 minutes. Loving the hysteria, though.#

10 people have died, yeah? 36,000 died from flu in the US last year...

[razaar]

Scottt, what is the swine death count?

[henno]

I think it is now 22 confirmed cases - all in Mexico.

And how come no-one cares that almost 1000 people have dengue fever in Queensland alone?

[Scottt]

There you go.

22 still pales in comparison

[adlo]

I think it is now 22 confirmed cases - all in Mexico.

You answered your own question. Because it is Queensland.

[henno]

That may be so, but as soon as a single person in QLD is diagnosed with swine flu I bet there is mass hysteria. Probably a media deal with ACA/Today Tonight in it for them as well.

[adlo]

It is crazy. I hate media. I don't watch TV, read the paper or listen to the radio. I can't stand it. Such crap.

[henno]

I am a media whore. It's like crack to me. It's bad, but I just can't stop.

[adlo]

:lol: :lol:

What are you going to be like when you are old? They are huge media addicts.

[Scottt]

I'm the opposite, Henno. 10 years working in the media and I read as few papers, watch as little news and listen to as little new radio as possible.

[henno]

Scottt, you have to remember that I have been out of the game for a while, and wasn't really "in" the news game to begin with. (More feature story stuff than anything else.)

Regardless, I am an information whore first and foremost, and a constant stream of current events and commentary streamed directly into my brain is a daily necessity.


What are you going to be like when you are old? They are huge media addicts.

My missus already calls me an old man, due to my unnatural addiction to the ABC in its many forms. Old man radio, old man TV, and old man internet. There's no hope for me.

[adlo]

Henno I will give you one thing, you seem to know where all information on the internet originated from.

However, those early morning posts you make in the NEWS...... thread will be viewed differently from now on..... old man.

[henno]

Henno I will give you one thing, you seem to know where all information on the internet originated from.

Next year will be my 15th year on the internet. Not the longest by any stretch (Hat-tip: Tim Berners-Lee), but I have certainly had a (un)healthy relationship with the WWW that borders on an obsession.


However, those early morning posts you make in the NEWS...... thread will be viewed differently from now on..... old man.

What can I say? I am a man who likes his early starts, early edition news, and narwhals.

[Scottt]

1994?

I was around 1998 and there was sod all to look at, other than boobs. What the hell was on there in 1994?

University journals and porn. I quickly worked out that a search for "pamela" yeilded some eye-opening results!

[henno]

Oh, and it was 1995. Which actually makes this year the 15th year. I need to celebrate!

[Scottt]

Pamela - Snapdragon (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snapdragon_(film)) was around that vintage, wasn't it?

[henno]

Pamela - Snapdragon (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snapdragon_(film)) was around that vintage, wasn't it?

Sure was.

Good times. Good times.

[Scottt]

Very good times. I was 12 and had just realised that thing wasn't just for pissing :lol:

Creators of Snapdragon and Body of Evidence, I salute you :lol:

Me too. I get my news from ozgolf.

Found out about the stimulus package here.
Found out about swine flu here.
Found out America may have a black president soon. When is the election btw?

i recall browsing web pages in 1995 using the command line.
if i remember right i was using Auspac(sp?) and it took for ever to actually find an image and then hours to download it - was Heather Locklear in a wet t-shirt.

I was using Mosaic. Strangely enough, there is a distant lineage all the way back from the current version of Firefox to the original Mosaic browser.

When I get asked if I watched the news last night, I usually reply "No, I don't like that show".

One hundred days into his
presidency .... swine flu.

↑↑↑ Bump ↑↑↑

I have the flu again. This time even worse; I haven't been to work in more than a week. Lucasto, Nudgee and Eags, I hope none of you guys are showing symptoms after hanging around me at Gailes last Friday.

[markTHEblake]

Try putting a garbage bag over you, and get your mate to hammer six inch nails into your head.

Seemed to work on a telly show I saw once.

[Tomo]

Get some Tamiflu into you.

I had a course last week and it worked a treat

[henno]

Get some Tamiflu into you.

Nah, I figure it should be saved for those that need it. Or at least until this swine flu mutates into something worse than it's current form.

2600 people have swine flu in QLD now. We are all bound to get it at some point.

[markTHEblake]

We are all bound to get it at some point.

Life and death is in the power of your tongue! Keep saying it, and you will get it :neutral:

I've got the flu again too. :cry:

Since starting GP work earlier this year, this is about my 5th flu. I blame all those little people that cough into my face when I look into their throats. :evil:

Lucky you don't look in their arse then 'eh :mrgreen:

[Rusty]

Jono i think it's about time GPs wore some protection - hazmat suit, something like that. just tell the clients it's for their own protection, so you don't pass on what the previous patient had.
