Tamiflu please doctor

July 22, 2009

Following on from May’s post about Swine Flu, it looks like the pesky virus has indeed reached central London with Attinger Jack interactive’s employees dropping like flies.

First out of the blocks was AJi’s Italian cookery expert, Carla Spuri. What Carla doesn’t know about prosecco, Parma ham, Tuscan olive oil and barolo isn’t worth knowing, although her knowledge obviously doesn’t extend to the vagaries of being struck down by pig flu. Poor girl and a thousand sympathetic sniffles.

Next was Active You’s editor, Jed Walters. A renowned hypochondriac, we’re not sure whether Jed’s few days off was just a ruse to be sent on another cricket reporting assignment to the Caribbean. Jed assures us he needs the warmth. How about a sauna then?

Most surprisingly of all, word reaches us that David Attinger has had a spot of fever himself and has put an SOS into London for a packet of Tamiflu to be whisked over to his Antibes holiday pad! With black market prices for Tamiflu reaching a $1,000 dollars we’ve been left wondering what cost more - the mercy flight or the tablets?!
