Swine flu
« on: July 17, 2009, 08:04:26 pm »
Had an interesting meeting at work this morning.Boss decides we all need to sit down and make an action plan of what to do if swine flu hits the business.Turns out after 30 mins talking that one person is off sick with swine flu and another 4 people have family off ill with it :o

Don`t know what the score it in the rest of the country but Gloucestershire(especially Gloucester and Cheltenham) has 1 in 4 people on average either suffering from it or already had it :o

Me thinks the news and government are not telling the story like it really is :(

Remember some people are alive simply because it is illegal to shoot them!

A doctor and his family have it where Jayne works, another doctors wife and kids have it also.  Looks like just a matter of time tbh.

don't think its hit as bad over here unless its being really played down. They stopped counting cases in Ireland earlier this week when numbers hit 120 and i don't think thats bad considering there is millions of people.

hmm NZ has 14 deaths from it now, no idea how many cases though. There was a confirmed case at my dad's work, and that person has been quarantined. What's the UK toll at?

It's only flu FFS, its no more dangerous than normal flu and no-one in the UK has died without complicating factors. Man the f*ck up!
