As I have a Liver Disease, (on top of all my other medical problems), I'm going
into hiding for a while - no way am I having that bloomin flu jab!!!

My nephew's wife and baby have suspected swine flu.  I am quite worried as I visited my sister last week and they were there.  The wee one wasn't well then.  My brother-in-law has reduced immune protection so I hope he is all right.  Anyone know the incubation period of this flu?

Anyone know the incubation period of this flu?

5 days in adults, 7 days in children
Can live on surfaces for up to 24 hours

Any other questions.... look on the NHS website (wouldn't have thought theres any conspiracy to give out false information on there?!)
