Yikes. How awful for you daisyem and what a terrible time to need to travel.

I would suggest contacting your doctor and your airline.

Have you had a cold or do you actually have influenza? I mean, have you been tested for anything more sinister than a cold?

Just watching the morning news here in Australia and they're being really, really strict.

They've even started special thermal testing of all passengers arriving from overseas. People are all wearing masks coming off the planes here. I don't wish to alarm you too much but it's pretty alarming what's happening. I don't know, but I even doubt they'll let you on a plane if you lived in my country (Australia) if you're feverish or have terrible symptoms here at the moment. Anyone with temperature going through the scanners is taken away for testing here by the sound of it. I believe they've even brought in new legislation so that people can be detained for testing. It's pretty darn serious.
