Take it easy.

Flu jab? Why does anyone want to get a dose of the last known flu intections injected into them? Bizarre.

I'm sure nobody does.

But lots of people find it beneficial to be injected with antibody triggers derived from influenza virii that are statistically calculated to be prevalent in a geographical region based on past history and monitoring of virus mutations.

Have you been anywhere near a hospital alfie , those places are rife with bugs ..
Hope you get well soon 

[the alarming man]

the flu jab will not help norovirus,i caught it 3 years ago when i broke my arm,i takes a good 2 weeks to feel right afterwards

[alfie]

Yes your right about right about hospital,I picked this bug up from my daughter who's a nurse at UHW at Cardiff.Her kids went down with it first, then her,the myself,and finally her husband.

I get stabbed with it yearly now......i used to get flue most years (probably my job doesnt help) but since  I first got talked into it.....touch wood i havent managed to get it or even a bad cold 

Plus apparently, as i was diagnosed with diabetes 2 years ago, if i do get the flu now, it will more than likely turn into pneumonia....... 

And when your self employed anything to stop you having to take time off coz of illness must be a benefit 

BTW Get well soon Alfie

Sounds like norovirus(wrongly called winter vomitting)? Passed on among other ways by poor hygiene (lack of hand washing using soap and hot water and not just a dribble of cold water)

Hope you make a speedy recovery. It is very debillitating.

So there you have it alfie, the definative answer to your woes!
Wash your hands thoroughly with soap & water after scratching your arse/gonads!
Seriously though, I hope you & mrs alfie are feeling much better sooner rather than later.

Ah you trivialiser  , there was a health expert on Tv and he said that was the primary cause of transmission of Norovirus. He gave a statistic of just how few people wash their hands after the toilet for example. I know it is true here in Spain. Hardly ever see anyone washing their hands after using a public toilet

Apologies for that Varche 
Not my intention to trivialise something as nasty as Norovirus or any other bug that can cause harm, as I am more susceptible than most & dread the consequences if it hits our family! Since my last big health scare my sense of humour has changed dramatically!   I blame it on the donors who supplied the blood for my Op

Hey Phil, no offence taken whatsoever. I remember your situation.

I suspect very few visitors to hospitals take care with washing either. So in come the bugs. ( where is the standard thumbs up - this double one looks like Arnie on steroids!)
