Suppose most of us have done the same sort of thing at some time. Come to think of it I did yesterday and today. 
Anyway I can't send you any karma, you've karmed me out.

Personally I don't think of it as that big a deal - something is bound to come along and wipe out a good number of people; it's nature's way - it has to control populations all the time.

They haven't confirmed its the N1 varienty yet, or at least they hadn't an hour ago. It's inevitable that it will reach every counry in the world, just what happens after that is a little bit of a mystery.

I do not mind. It could be something I missed. Any rate it was only a matter of time but what is going to p...me off is when it hits here, as it will. The world will stop as far as the media are concerned.
