Medical professionals have asked anyone to come forward who's recently returned from a holiday in Mexico and feels perfectly fine. Because you're obviously some kind of f***ing mutant; you must have a backside like a concrete elephant.
Panic averted - if you are worried you might have swine flu, apparently British scientists have invented some preventative oinkment.....
that was in the metro this morning. :lol:
we've all been put on alert or something at work (NHS). so they are either taking it seriously or the people who do the emergency planning didn't get a chance to do anything for the bird flu scare and are trying to justify their jobs.
i may steal a face mask from the 'incident room' and wear it with my ID badge on the train home tonight, it might cause a panic. he he he.
TBH thought, i think the alert is more to do with the public thinking they might have the thing than actually dealing with cases of the thing.
No-one outside of Mexico has had it serious enough to die from (yet) - so far it doesn't appear to be any more severe than any other human flu variant.
And I'm bored with reading the same paragraph about Spanish flu over and over again. Most of those deaths were from pneumonia contracted whilst sick with the flu, and medical technology of the time consisted of 'OK, we'll cut this limb off - any better?'.
So yes, it's all about public panic and perception. The editor of the Daily Mail must have wet himself when he heard about this.

I was at least expecting someone to offer making surgical face masks with a Sinclair design on it :-P
