Mexican flu outbreak

[Plank]

SARs was in a completely different league.

In what respect? I was talking about how people thought everyone was going to die and how the media hyped everything up. It is similar to swine flu in some ways anyway, it's a virus, it was a near pandemic, the death rate was higher, and it was contained successfully. Pretty similar in my eyes.

I wonder if he looks into a crystal ball every night or reads palms as a living

I'm sure it's way more advanced than that!

Anyone else NOT get their leaflet today?

[Ardemax]

I dont think so, maybe they all got lost in the post?

i didn't get one today.

[Plank]

They said on the news 'over the next few days', so I imagine they're doing a bit at a time

All the leaflets caught Swine Flu and died.

All the leaflets caught Swine Flu and died.

but did the lab actually confirm it was swine flu? maybe they got their figures wrong?

If that's the child/baby then that's the one that came over from Mexico for treatment, so technically it doesn't count.

What was SARs? I remember the name but strangely can't remember what it was about (shows how much I care about illnesses ).
