  1. Re: Swine Flu

    ^ I don't think that's quite right, Frank. Janet Parker was the last person to die of smallpox in the UK in 1978, and she did catch it from a sample in a lab - but she was the only person to die. ...
  2. Re: Swine Flu

    I have also read all the posts on this thread, and I cannot see any that make a joke of swine flu. You are entitled of course to interpret posts differently.

    There are a number of posters (me...
  3. Re: Swine Flu

    It seems a tragic story to me - I don't see why you would imagine she found it "hilarious"? Having given birth, and already having a respiratory tract infection, she was a high-risk,...

    But if you've read Naomi Klein's Shock Doctrine... you'll be wondering whether it's a capitalist plot!
  11. Re: Swine Flu

    Alarmist propaganda. It's seven in England, three in Scotland - all recently returned from Mexico, all treated with Tamiflu and antivirals, and the first two of whom are already home from hospital...
  12. Re: Swine Flu

    Blimey, the media are really outdoing themselves over there to create panic, aren't they?! :) What does your government health department say about it? Ours says "This means there are small...
  13. Re: Swine Flu

    I have to say I find this really unlikely - it sounds like media frenzy to me. Influenza is spread through droplet infection - like colds - if you were asymptomatic, I think your likelihood of being...
