Remember when we predicted the future and said you would get swine flu? Well, it happened again. UVa hospital explains:
On Tuesday, June 23, the University of Virginia Medical Center’s epidemiologist, Dr. Keri Hall, sent an email to all Medical Center employees informing them that a small number of healthcare employees had been diagnosed with novel H1N1 influenza. As has been widely reported, the symptoms of this virus have ranged from very mild, cold-like symptoms to more severe influenza symptoms. It is generally being described as seasonal flu.
Dr. Hall advised U.Va. Hospital staff that they should not come to work if they develop flu-like symtoms. Symptoms include fever, sore throat, chills, runny nose, nasal congestion, headache, nausea, and vomiting. Employees were asked to immediately contact Employee Health to be evaluated if they had any worrisome symptoms.
“Please be vigilant about noticing any visitors who appear to be ill or have a significant cough,” Hall added. “Sick visitors should be asked to avoid visiting until their symptoms have resolved.”
Time to stop making out with everyone and licking each other’s hands.

My sister is one of the employees that got this. She’s fine, but isn’t going back to work for a week, obviously.
That’s it. No more Spam for this man.
As you all know the H1N1 virus has infected fellow employees..and I just want to wish a speedy recovery for those who did unfortunately get infected. My aunt works on the main floor in which it was detected and her test results are pending. Just keep in mind the basic defenses: to wash your hands at all times, no sharing any food or drink items, and most of all if you are sick PLEASE STAY HOME UNTIL YOU GET BETTER!
