Either way I'm not delighted - even if I get the mildest case and just end up with severe headaches and flu like symptoms that's more than I want while I'm out working in a foreign country.
Having said that, three of my colleagues have been in Natal for a couple of weeks and they are all fine and they are on their way to Recife for the property trade fair at the end of this week and seem to be perfectly ok without any symptoms.
I guess if it was something to be really worried about I'm assuming that one of them or any of my other friends living in Natal would have said something about my trip.
