Jens Lekman contracts H1N1/Swine Flu, but is OK

June 30th, 2009 by Matt

What strange, horrible news to wake up to… Jens Lekman revealed in his blog that he contracted the H1N1 virus while in South America. He hallucinated and then fainted on the trans-Atlantic flight home and is now under quarantine for 10 days. Seems like he’s going to be OK, but send good thoughts his way regardless!

From Jens’ blog:

I picked home one last souvenir from South America, it’s called the H1N1 virus. Wrongfully known as the Swineflue.

I was crossing the Atlantic when things started getting really bad, the fever was hallucinogenic and shaking me like a leaf and I grabbed the sleeve of the Air France steward. “I’m not feeling well, I should see a doctor” I said and the reply came as a brilliant mix of death anxiety and french rudeness: “Uh, yes… Terminal D… go there maybe… when we land”. After that the stewards and stewardesses took long detours. A ring of empty seats formed around me. Peoples eyes were kind but determined, they read “Poor you, I really wish you all the best but if you come near me or my kid I will have to stab you with this plastic fork”. I got up and went to the bathroom where I fainted.

Now I’m in quarantine for ten days. I can see the summer through my window and it’s just perfect. Summer is always best through a window.
