    FOUR STUDENTS from University College Cork (UCC) have developed symptoms of swine flu after attending a student union conference in Waterford. The students contacted the out-of-hours GP service in Cork after returning from the Union of Students in Ireland (USI) conference at the weekend.

    Are we dead so?

    I find it funny were I work in the estate with several hundred ppl, they have said that you should still come into work if you have been in contact with someone with it and they will only send you home when you are symtomatic.

    Now heres the funny thing, a person is most contagious before they become symtomatic, so if you have been in contact with someone and you have caught it then you're gonna pass it on.

    Then they introduce anti-bacterial soap into the bathrooms to combat it as well... hmmm anti bacterial against a virus.........

    Seems pretty standard to me. If they were to allow you to stay home then every jackass in the place will probably play that card.
