For legal action you mean? Surprise, surprise! We're more into litigation than the States these days. However, duty of care extends only to having a policy and ensuring staff have an opportunity to clean their hands. Beyond that, it's up to individual members of staff to look after themselves. My workplace has alcohol handwash dotted all over the place and has emailed their policy - namely, if you've got it stay off or you'll be sent home - to all staff members. That's their duty of care done and dusted.

The only reason there is anyone commenting on swine flu anywhere at all is because the WHO gave it pandemic status.

Hey hey don't you two be jumping down my throat, I'm only relaying what was being said by some doctor on the bloody radio.



But as you said your work has put into place a procedure that shows duty of care. What happens if say half of the team get diagnosed with it? would the team be forced to play or would it be a duty of care to call the game off so as to not cross infect the oposing team etc?

You are Brian Noble and I claim my fiver.

TOTALLY agree with you there.

I reckon this whole swine flu thing could be a good card to play if we lose any more players to injury. Get the season postponed until everyone is fit again.

Im of the same suspicion as you.

I think its more of a psychological thing. If another club knows that Flu is rife in the opposition team camp, they know it will affect players performances, as the squad wont be able to perform anywhere near 100%.
As a result the club states its mumps which wont affect most players due to vaccinations, and therefore allows the club to give the impression that only one individual isnt feeling well.

I expect the flu epidemic to play havoc with team performances in the next couple of months. It could make the challenge cup and playoffs a complete lottery.

For all you pies know, Wigans performance against Leeds may have been helped by a number of the Leeds players bieng under the weather so to speak.

Get out of it........they were at the peak of their powers!

Saying that if we preform poorly on Friday it'll be because you vermin have infected us with Swine flu



How low can you get!

Do know they've had mumps through the accademy and some of Jets.
One or two had even had MMR! jabs!
Only Know of one younger Accademy lad who has had flu
Could be mumps!

It's Weil's disease we'll be trying to avoid on Friday!

Yea and what the f*** does Roger Daltry know about Swine Flu, i thought he kept trout

Just spat Desperados everywhere!

He's a pig ball wizard!

I'm very disappointed in the wigan fans on here. Not one single joke about Piggy Fletchers Pig farm, are they losing their touch?

Hang on, I thought we were Stains, and you were vermin!

I believe it is sexually transmitted

yes but then Dustin Hoffman figures it out and finds a cure

Well, if Ski comes down with it then we'll say you're right.

I had MMR and still got mumps. IIRC from when I had it, its only effective in about 80% of people for mumps.
Considering youre contagious for over 2 weeks I was suprised Kyle and Flannery only missed one match.

did'nt get mine me ma would'nt let them do it
