This week saw the swine flu which struck me down, hit a colleague.
He was on the road to recovery, and was looking like he would return to work soon, but he said he felt ill again all of a sudden on Friday morning and could not make it in.
Statistics show that the severity of flu cases peak on Thursday evenings/Friday mornings, before completely subsiding on Saturday afternoons.
There was one study in particular which looked set to prove a definitive link between the days of the week and severity of an illness, but the researchers got sick before a long weekend and did not complete their report.
Speaking of weak ends, here’s a line leading you into this week’s awesome tech deals:
