1000 people dead from swine-flu in UK

[Churchill]

Are looking for a spot on the ignore list?

Who said that?

Do you want a bucket of sand for that head sir?

Look, it's more transmissible than normal flu, that much is clear.

The worst death rate is still 1/1000 of total population - I'll take my chances, you old folks might be knackered though.

You mean the one you've used when it comes to Global Warming?

STFU you tedious little man.

You and Cyberturd are good reasons not to vote Tory. Seriously, is this the effect of Daily Mail reading on a regular basis?

You made your points:

This flu could be serious
House Prices etc..

Now try the real world for a change.

On a day of dramatic revelations, the Department of Health revealed:

• The launch of the National Pandemic Flu Service helpline for England.

• 55,000 new infections last week.

• More than 650 people in hospital.

• Half of the UK's children might fall ill.

• 132 million doses of a vaccine – still in development – have been ordered, enough for two injections for every UK citizen.

The internet service and helpline will initially involve 2,000 people in call centres giving out advice and prescribing antiviral drugs such a Tamiflu and Relenza. The number has not yet been given out, but the helpline should open by the end of next week. It is intended to relieve intense pressure on GPs and hospitals.

What's the pay like?

Its chief perk is the esteem in which you will be held by CyberCretin, Drewster et. al.

Looks like Dim's first serious bid for position of CUK Chief Village Idiot.

And I thought I was a miserable bugger.

They used to shoot people like you for destroying the morale of the public.

Maybe it's time for people to take this seriously rather than laughing "it's just man flu", and think about not going into work with the flu.
