From yesterday: Did I tell you guys I came thisclose to being quarantined for swine flu in Nairobi?

Posted by hutsilu in Rwanda (aka loosilu2) May 7 '09, 06:20

I was sent in the wrong line (customs line, even though I was just changing planes). A ministry of health lady accosted me and shoved a questionnaire in my face, listing symptoms of swine flu. I read them and realized I had at least three symptoms: Headache, sore throat, fever. I was totally planning to lie but if someone had a thermometer that wasn't going to fly. I then asked if I REALLY had to fill this out since I was not entering the country. she looked confused, then someone else said I must be in the wrong line, and through some bad English she told me I didn't need to do it and sent me on my way.

Like I was going to tell the truth on that questionnaire. Who in their right mind would admit to having symptoms?

So it is ok that you endangered 200+ people on a plane? - groiny May 7, 06:44 25

  - I just wonder how you would've reacted to someone sitting next to you on the plane with 3 swine flu symptoms. - Jim May 7, 06:53 20
    - the top symptom is coughing. I'm not coughing. I don't have swine flu. THey were going to put me in a room with sick people for no good reason. -- nm - hutsilu in Rwanda May 7, 06:54 19
