100,000 New Swine Flu Cases

Again you don't seem to proving any sort of point? If they go out, they're still spreading the flu :/ What exactly is the point of closing schools down? It can't be to stop the spread of the flu, that's aload of rubbish. That's like tipping over a container of water and hoping it doesn't spread all over the floor -,-

I saw someone onf GMTV saying that that figure is NOT a prediction and is only part of a model which was created to prepare for the worse case scenario...

I also made the effort to look this up on Google and found the following from the Times

The model says that the NHS should prepare for up to 12 per cent of the workforce to be off sick. However, it emphasises that its figures are not a prediction but based on a “reasonable worst-case scenario for planning purposes”. It adds that the spread of the virus might slow during the summer holidays, peaking in October after children go back to school.

I was 'diagnosed' with it last week. Felt like a normal ****** flu but just lasted for longer. Half our school have it aswell. It's nothing major now. Nearly everybody is going to catch it.

Yeah but still some innocent people will die from it. If it spreads as fast as it did last week the UK is going to be a sick, businesses will be losing money from sick staff.
