Flight Crews & Swine Flu

Firstly, sorry if this thread is in the wrong place but I wasn't sure where to post it.

I was wondering how many of our employers are serious about protecting us from swine flu, especially since the UK goverment have now accepted that it is not feasible to contain it & there are forecasting around 100,000 infections per day towards the end of August. So it seems inevitable that we will contract it. Although, for a healthy adult it is not so serious but for those of us with kids under 5 years old things suddenly start looking a little frightening. I have a baby & it scares me to death that I may bring it home since Tamiflu has not been tested on children under 1 year old. So what are your airlines doing for you?

Here's a few links that you may find interesting.
