    While being true, do you not think the amount of people actually effected in the end (and probably the death count) can be reduced by a bit of common sense...
    No.

      You do know Darwinism doesn't teach selection/evolution through deliberate actions by individuals? What you're suggesting is closer to eugenics. But who cares about that, why let facts interfere with a chance to throw out insults.

      Hilarious.

          Ok lets say I do want to stay at home, but I am a bit skint...

          Thats the next problem, GP's are currently being told by the powers that be not to diagnose anyone.... So what if I just have a bloody sniffle? Am I to stay home everyday I have a sneeze or my hayfeever is playing up and i've got the tulips, incase it is swineflu??

          Is anyone going to thank me after taking 4 weeks off work for a bit of a cold, bad hayfever and too much curry? I think not.

          Also what about the 100's of people I have already came into contact with before realising I had swine flu? The same people I would come into contact with EVERY day regardless if I had swine flu or not....

          If you are a travelling sales man, or work in a hospital, then different rules apply imo...

          Just to add the icing to the cake, the government and/or NHS dont even know if we should stay at home or not, the advice is changing on a daily basis....

              Yes, the Epileptic nature of your postings does tend to reinforce the image of someone struggling with neurological disorders. Despite all that, you continue to swamp the place with your slackjawed ramblings. Well done sg, the simple man's AtW.

                What I said earlier, that its going to spread anyway and chances are the people you come into contact with on a daily basis have already been exposed either from yourself or whatever cretin decided to come into work and give it to you.

                  Most of that simply isn't true.

                  A high temp is a bit of a give away, swine flu doesn't last 4 weeks, nfi wheer you got told GP's are being told not to diagnose anyone (the opposite is probably true), and by definition you staying at home means you come into contact with far less people and are in effect doing your bit in minimising the spread of it.

                  ******* hell, nothing like a good pandemic panic to bring out the idiot in people (The doom merchants and the flippant).

                      Nothing I've read says this is the case.

                      Best avoided, and definitely best stay at home - I don't want the 'choice' forced on me by some misguided fool.
                      I have no idea but I am assuming the body would build up some immunity to mutated strains of the same virus. Then again I'm not a virologist, I'm sure there will be an expert on here somewhere who has all the answers to an unknown scenario.
