Swine Flu
Ianadr but from what I have read about it there is not too much point in worrying as there is no model around which can accurately predict the pattern of mutation, that the virus will take.
As far as I understand any virus has the potential to mutate into a killer, so it is a permanent latent risk, much like the earth getting hit by an asteroid.
So it could be a big deal, or it could not. Not much point stressing about it.

Most are qualified climate scientists too. Not to mention economists.
There's no start to the talent on this forum.

It is amazing how many people have medical degrees on an IT contractor forum.

Time will tell, but worldwide it could well happen. Not every country has access to ant-virals and vaccines, or understands the importance of good hygiene and prevention. The UK may thus suffer less than other countries, but Asian populations will be hit disproportionately IMO.
