There’s been a sharp increase in swine flu cases in the UK recently. So what do people think about it? Well I’ve had swine flu and you can probably still hear it a little bit in my throat so it was not too bad. I’ve had tonsillitis before and that was much much worse for me, I was iller for longer and I had more of a temperature. But this time with swine flu I had about a week of feeling quite ill but I didn’t feel like I was dying, I just felt rotten. My throat hurt, I had a cough, I had a terrible headache and a bit of a temperature. But I’ve had worse before and actually I’m quite pleased I’ve had it now because maybe it will boost my immunity. As swine flu is a respiratory disease and can be spread by coughing and sneezing, some people are trying not to go to crowded places. Yeah some friends of mine who live outside of London recently were really scared about coming to London and especially about going on public transport and the tube. They actually decided instead of going by public transport to actually drive up to London. And I was kind of not worried at all because I come to London all the time. But they were all a bit nervous, especially because one of them’s pregnant so that’s why she’s especially nervous about it. I’m not that worried about swine flu, I think if people are just careful, they wash their hands, they cover their mouths when they sneeze, wash their hands after that, throw away their tissues, it should be fine. There’s no need to panic.
