Re: SWINE FLU HITS SPAIN.
Its a bit like saying that a bullet doesn't actually kill you, its the damage it does as it tears through your flesh that kills you.

Re: SWINE FLU HITS SPAIN.
What??? I thought we were all being wiped off the face of the earth sometime around September!
Tell me, who predicted that it would be a damp squib? Hmm? |

El año termina con 271 muertes por gripe A en España If you read back over this thread, its certainly nothing like the serious pandemic that they were predicting - nowhere near. Its no more fatal or dangerous or indeed common that "normal" flu! Jo xxx |

Jo xxx Don't worry, every time there is a new variety you will be able to predict it will be a government plot, and that it will be no worse than normal flu (which of course kills a lot of people, but hey......). You will be right every time, right up to the point when the wheels come off and the flu virus rolls six 6s in a row. So what should government do? Stick its head in the sand like you suggest? |

Agree, it's damned if it does, damned if it doesn't. And just maybe the total is not as high as predicted due in some small part to the actions that the various governments have taken. I know I have had my jab, along with many thousands of others. Some here seem almost disappointed that the figures haven't reached epic proportions. I can never quite follow the argument that the governments deliberately over predicts the figures, what's in it for them? Surely it's better to give a worst case scenario than say it's not a problem, nobody takes any precautions, and thousands die.

Yikes, I'm in full agreement with agoreira ! :eek: There was a report on the radio earlier stating that the NHS in the UK is liable to be left with millions of vaccine jabs, as the outbreak wasn't as bad as they were fearing.

Yeah, probably as many who have died from eating bad food, in fact probably less, yet you don't see the mass media hysteria do you? Thats what is wrong with this world, the bloody media and scumbag journo's!
A smoker who drives will cross the road to post his pools coupon and buy a lottery ticket. It never occurs to him that he is highly at risk from the first three things, but vanishingly unlikely to profit from the last two. Can you imagine what would have happened had the gooberments done sod all, and this really was the 'big one'? |
