Can I just point out that the figures this year were ESTIMATED to be higher than last year, this doesn't necessarily mean they are. And that this bug goes around every single winter. A few hundred thousand people more got ill with the bug and all of a sudden the country is almost in a panic. Over hyped, as usual, it's what the English are best at I think.

that and toilet hygine

R.O.S.S.I · 13 Jan 2008 at 13:34

I had it a couple of days ago, combined with a monster hangover it is not pleasant at all, poo'ing, voming, sniffling, sneezing, aching in one go is bad mmmm'kay.

I just caught the damn thing on my flight back to Hong Kong. Spent three weeks back home in the UK and thought i'd got away with only a cold, but a pressurised cabin full of Brits sneezing and coughing did the trick.

Last night was up there as one of the worst nights of my life. Unable to sleep, vomiting, watery and explosive diarrhoea, fever, muscle ache, headache and passing out on the toilet floor. It was intense and lasted the whole night.

Been away for three weeks and nothing.

I can't believe some people want this for "time off work".
It isn't time off work at all, you can't just go sit on the couch and watch TV.

I had a sneeze for about an hour, felt a little cold, a few whiskys at lunch sorted that out, back to normal...

Why has a thread 1 yr old been revived?

BennyC · 16 Jan 2009 at 14:21

I was lucky enough to have this!
3 kilo's of weight lost in 3 days! the episode lasted about 8 hours, and then it took 2 days to regain my appetite/strength.

I normally battle through colds and refuse to give in, but it absolutley crippled me.

No you don't. I'd rather have man flu than the norovorus.
