I understand it is difficult for you, but try to read this...slowly.

According to the last CD briefing, before piggy flu came along there were over 30 million cases of flu each year in the United States alone. Of these there were 200,000 hospitalizations and, on average, 36,000 deaths.

Flu kills people. THIS IS NOT NEWS.

...or maybe people are just getting wise to the fact that they are being manipulated. Flu kills people EVERY YEAR. Some strains kill more people than other strains. Some strains are more virulent than others.

So in answer to my question, the fact it has the word "flu" in the name makes you thinking it is nothing to worry about? That's just plain dumb. You even admit some strains are more dangerous... and apart from anything else even normal flu is a big deal if a proper epidemic happens. It's a pain for an office when a normal flu season knocks people out, it would cripple many businesses if many more people are affected at the same time than normal.

Christ my throat is sore this morning.....

That'll be because of your bit on the side, CyberCretin.

[Cyberman]

Fair enough. I won't mention flu again.

Oh Dear, not you as well.

I didn't start this thread and only posted figures released by the dept of health.

All I asked was people to think about this and compare it to normal flu which does not kill young healthy children and does not occur in great numbers this time of year.

Ah bless.
Don't worry your small brain about it, it doesn't have the capacity.

Next you'll be posting global warming projections from some other scientists, eh?

I honestly can't work out whether you are on a wind up, or if you're in serious need of therapy, or if you're just not very bright.

If everything in the world was going swimmingly, I suspect you would just turn up your toes because you'd have nothing to moan about or forcast a doom-ridden future about.

Maybe piggy flu can mutate so that it removes the hard of thinking from the gene pool. What a result that would be.

Shut up CyberMan.

la la la la not listening, it's just man flu, la la la, dept of health are making it all up, la la la la......

Well, I've got very mild flu symptoms today. Took a couple of paracetamol yesterday after feeling rough with a bit of sneezing and a bad throat for the past two days. According to HMG, only 30% of the population will catch swineflu. That seems a great underestimation to me.

[PM-Junkie]

You seriously telling me this is like normal seasonal flu?

How many healthy young people die of normal flu?

Wake up. This is serious. You'll realise it in a few months, if you are still alive.
