Swine Flu Set To Be Declared A Pandemic

[-:Undertaker:-]

I suppose the best thing now would be for people to get it as soon as possible (healthy people) and for the sick/elderly/young to be protected from it as much as possible.

The healthy and young are at more risk from it... mid/elderly people arn't at such a high risk as the health and young.

The people who have died from it so far have been sick/had underlaying health issues.

this thread has given my the urge to play Pandemic 2 again...

My main argument with swine flu are the companies labelling it as a disease instead of a virus. At least the Dettol/Domestos adverts on TV call it a virus and not a disease, calling a virus a disease just looks stupid.

It seems the virus is becoming unpopular again, it cropped up when the woman who had underlying issues died but now it seems to be going quiet again

Unpopular.. When the end of July onto August comes the Swine Flu will be on the news every second. Millions are estimated to catch it.

no but does the common cold require you getting hospital/GP treatment everytime which includes a vaccine whilst being isolated from others?

I'd laugh if it evolves and turns into some deadly virus and all the people in this thread who currently think nothing of the virus catch the evolved form of it and die

It isn't nice to wish death upon people but a 'told you so' would be enough but lets hope it doesn't come to that.
