      No, it wasn't stolen from there. It was stolen from the updated, peer-reviewed publication that came out following the show.
      But there has been quite a large outbreak in Haslemere recently.

          I'm not sure you really know what you are talking about here.

          I'm not sure you really know what you are talking about here.

          The data from that was about modelling the spread and impact of a flu-like virus. It's not about a very specific strain of a virus. The basis of the process was comparing virus spread in 1918 (Spanish flu, H1N1) with that 100 years later. Contrary to the belief of some, the UK is not the same country it was in 1918. These studies help provide new, more up-to-date data models that can be used to predict spread.

          If you are aware of more relevant and recent peer reviewed research into the spread of viruses in the UK which contradicts the findings of LSHTM and Cambridge University, please share it.

            I'm sorry but you are showing me some graphic from a TV show and telling me its real life. You are about as believable as someone on Ancient Aliens saying we are working on warp drives.

              Shame your hatred of facts means you're uninterested in reading.

              The source of the graphics was an article published in Epidemics by Petra Klepac, Stephen Kissler and Julia Gog.
              Petra is from:
              Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics, University of Cambridge, Cambridge, UK
              Department of Infectious Disease Epidemiology, Faculty of Epidemiology and Public Health, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, London, UK

              Stephen and Julia are from:
              Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics, University of Cambridge, Cambridge, UK

              ...But you think you are more believable than them.

                You're like some senile old bat that thinks Quincy is real.

                  Close. I think you're confusing me with a mirror.

                    Chap in Boots asking for some hand sanitizer, all gone. Woman behind him gave him her bottle.

                    He was going on a cruise.

                    I wished him good luck.

                    qh
                    He had a negative bluety on a quackhandle and was quadraspazzed on a lifeglug.

                    I look forward to your all knowing and likely sarcastic and unhelpful reply.

                      Are you going to share the link, or keep it to yourself?
