You list people over age 65 as people to stay away from because they are high risk, but this is not accurate. 90% of hospitalizations for H1N1 have been in people under the age of 65, and therefore, your coworkers are likely at greater risk than your elderly relatives.
It's definitely hard to know if you have swine flu without a fever, but come on. If you are practically hacking out a lung through coughing and you don't have asthma, then you obviously have some sort of illness that you could spread to others.

Hi Deborah,
Glad you are feeling better and that your family is getting better. I hope you have reconsidered being at work while you are symptomatic. You are correct, you have and may still be exposing your friends and co workers to the virus. I am wondering how you didnt have that information earlier? The virus is really tough on kids, pregnant women and those with health issues. So please stay home and do not infect those around you. As a writer perhaps you could spread the word about the seriousness of this influenza.
Thanks,
Mary

The Obama administration created a crisis situation with H1N1 over the past eight months, and touted all of the good stuff the "Cavalry" was doing!!
There are vaccine shortages all over the country, even though HHS first let contracts for H1N1 vaccine manufacturing last spring. So far, only about 15 million doses have been dispensed in the U.S., out of 120 million that were promised. What happened?
Is this what we can expect from OBAMACARE??
