Moscow Mule is such a great bloke.

Well the rest of us think so. He was merely pointing out your tedious grasp on reality.

I was tempted to say:

tenuous

but in this case tedious is equally valid

She was not given the anti-viral drug Tamiflu after her doctor apparently misdiagnosed her illness as tonsillitis.

That poor girl was dead 48 hrs after complaining of a sore throat.

Anyone here seriously trying to tell me normal flu kills perfectly healthy people in 48 hrs? Have you ever heard of perfectly healthy people getting normal flu and dying?

All these rational folks saying stay at home, you don't have kids do you?

If my kids get it I'll be straight into A&E, no messing. Containment phase is over after all.

Those that are told to stay at home 'it's probably tonsilitis' are the ones that could be paying a heavy price.

Trust no one, follow your instincts.

Whipping up a panic won't help either DP.

Apparently some poor sods who are healthy do die from normal flu. I haven't heard of any but I think there are stats out there.

Let's see what the outcomes are from the post-mortems first, eh? Assuming we believe them that is....

Yesterday, scientists writing for the journal Nature said swine flu was closely related to strains responsible for the 1918 pandemic which killed up to 100 million worldwide.

It penetrates deeper into the lungs and can cause more damage than normal flu - explaining why it can kill otherwise healthy people.



A lot of people here think Swine Flu is a joke. A sort of porkie man-flu.

It's stupid people like this that put others lives at risk.

ClientCo has put up "how to wash your hands" posters today.

A place I worked once used these (SFW), but it was pointless, because no ursines worked for us, and I doubt they could read anyway.

I am now starting to seriously worry about swine flu,

However, there is nothing you can actually do to prevent catching it, is there?

Not without going over the top.
