im not buyin it. i learned from sars and bird flu, the media and the so-called emergency organizations really stretch their stuff. why say "it might turn into a pandemic"? if you dont have an at least relatively positive answer dont say anything? idk, i dont really like being irrationally afraid of something. like everyone here is saying "oh its a big deal cause its deadly and spreads fast". so does the normal flu? 36000 americans die a year from the normal flu and no ones going nuts over that.

No because the last outbreak killed 100,000,000, this is spreading a lot faster and the government won't be buying vaccines for everyone. So if it spreads a lot more then you will likely not be treated.

Nothing has been confirmed in the UK or Europe yet (on BBC). If it had it would be all over the news.

I reckon it's just one of them "we're all gone diee!!!!!!" things, which happens every couple of years, then afterwards everyone is like whatever.

Well they are allowing flights in and out of Mexico, I could go there today and get the swine flu and bring it back. It has also been confirmed the virus has gotten to New Zealand after 10 school children test positive to the virus.

Come back to me when it's in the UK. I do not care about Mexico or America.

[-:Undertaker:-]

People have been wanting Britain to close its borders for years, do you really expect them to close it now when something drastic like this happens?

I've not heard anything about this, I haven't seen the news but no-one has been gossiping about it when I went out. Might hear something at church though.

Thats the point i'm making, out of all the countries in the world our government would never close our borders even if the whole world had it except us. They'd only close it of Gordon Brown or some MP caught it.

It was suspected, apparently tests on this person have come back as negative meaning the United Kingdom is safe, for now. Ten New Zealand students are being tested after showing signs of the virus, and in France two suspected cases are being investigated.

[Ardemax]

Knowing our country, we'll be last to close our borders.

we didn't close our borders in WW2 +WW1, it'll need a bit more "outrageous" before we do.
