If Swine Flu were really to kick off in a serious way, we're talking hundreds of deaths daily, could the government introduce a state of emergency and avoid an election?

Some dork on R4 Today was saying 2% mortality in GP-reported cases. I couldn't quite believe that, but he said it at least twice. I was half-asleep though so could have got it wrong.Last edited by bogeyman; 15 July 2009, 16:43.

I expect they would want to bum middle class computer programmers first. Jebus, what newspapers are you reading?Originally posted by d000hg View PostThe court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.
But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”Comment

Where are you getting the figure of hundreds of deaths a day? Latest projected figures are for 100,000 infections a day and if fatality rates remain consistent (1 in every 2500) that doesn't quite add up to hundreds.Originally posted by d000hg View Post"I hope Celtic realise that, if their team is good enough, they will win.

Medical researchers are complaining that the crap way announcements are being handled ("Don't go to the GP or A&E, in fact - don't bother us unless you're dying - or maybe not even then, it's contagious you know") and that people aren't being told to log their illness with the NHS, mean that researchers have no reliable data to analyse.
