Hi Val,
My son went down with the flu about three of weeks ago, nothing helped he was in bed for nearly two weeks then took another week to fully recover although he did end up with a chest infection.
Haven't heard of any other cases but been very busy
Neither me nor my husband caught it so it can't be that contagious
May have had a longer recovery time due to too many late nights
Just returned from Borovets and according to ski instructors a few of the schools have been closed because it has been so bad. My son and I were ill whilst we were there with very bad colds (ok, may not be related). But do take lots of cold remedies, tablets etc just in case. Coldrex bought from the pharmcy in bg is very good.
