So far NO ONE from outside Mexico has died, and one of the scientists actually developing the cure was on TV the other night saying that he felt that we had already seen this flu virus peak and it got weaker the further away from Mexico you got..... As to the case in Scotland I think there is a little bit of crafty PR work going on there as the first doctor who gave the couple the all clear has said that he can't understand how or why the Scottish parliament et all are saying that a second test has shown they are positive, its not that sort of infection..... Yet gain we are being fed lies so that we are shown how well the government are dealing with this crisis....... This bunch of politicians spin so much they don't know which way they are actually facing! |

It`s easy to judge in the armchair.The fact remains that WHO is protecting the numpties who are condeming there actions, something they should be gratefull for. The WHO has access to info not released to the public, there actions are based on facts recieved from many sources involved. I`d rather be sat in front of my PC laughing at the expert opinions on certain websites than sat in front of my childs body asking myself why more wasn`t done in the begining. |

It`s easy to judge in the armchair.. Now if you want to argue the point feel free, but who the hell judged? Best to take your concern to the thousands of children who die a day in Africa from a defendable disease, Malaria. In the case of Malaria it is money that causes children to die, and somewhere in the region of 33,000 under 5's die a week from it................... |

Its not perfect, money isn`t grown on tree`s and Malaria is preventable.Educating people seems to be a harder task than throwing money at the affected countries. I`ve seen first hand a village use mos nets, but not for there intended purpose. Its not as simple as one may think, the media would lead you to believe.;) |

Re: SWINE FLU HITS SPAIN.
I think time will tell.
History is a great learning tool concerning previous pandemics and there time lines. In 20th century pandemics, a second wave of influenza activity occurred 3 to 12 months after the first wave. In 1957 the second wave began 3 months after the peak of the first wave, while in 1968 the second wave began 12 months after peak of the first wave. The first wave of the 1918 flu occurred in the spring of that year ending in March. That flu was very severe by usual standards but the second wave beginning 6 months later in September was the most fatal. During the 1918 pandemic, the deadly second wave was responsible for more than 90% of the deaths for the entire pandemic. The third wave occurred more than a year later, during the following 1919-1920 winter/spring, and was the mildest of all. You may still want to have those bags packed ready for the trip too the hills and between now and then get educated on the subject, beyond media hype ;). |
