Definition of swine flu:

Something blown far out of proportion by the media and the World Health Organization. It's just like the "normal" flu, excluding the fact that this swine flu does not currently have a vaccination.

The media fails to tell you that the only people who have died of this so-called "deadly" virus are:

1) Mexicans with terrible health care and terrible health in general who are living in close quarters.

2) Babies and old people

Note that anyone who has any remote knowledge on disease knows that these types of people die from the "normal" flu, and that the swine flu isn't some kind of deadly disease because it hasn't killed anyone that a normal sickness wouldn't have.

Also take note of the fact that hundreds of people have gotten sick in the United States alone, and yet all of these cases were called "mild". Know that all of these "mild" cases have occurred in adults and/or teenagers, who would not die from the "normal" flu.

What also is failed to be mentioned is the fact that a "Pandemic" is any disease that is spread worldwide. Thus, just because the swine flu is a pandemic doesn't mean we'll all die. The common cold is a pandemic, and no one goes around freaking out about that.

This is another phase in the "we're-all-gonna-die" angst in 50% of the human population. It'll pass by 2010.

They must have licked a lot of chutney spoons, the dirty foreign sods.

Some on here still say that this is a normal annual bout of flu. I am continuing to try to shake them out of their complacency.

still banging on about the same old tulip.

Leave me alone! I don't want to read all your drivel.

Point 2 is Wrong !!! Less than 3% of people affected are old people because they have some immunity. The vast majority are under 41 and in Brazil so far no old people have died. All have been under 41 in Brazil, so this is certainly not a normal flu.

He is NOT a Billy-No-Mates. He's got his own Chutney Spoon web site.

AND he's in the Urban Dictionary.

So there.

Yeah, it's not normal flu. It's the weakest strain of flu second only to bird flu.
