Re: Swine Flu
I think although it is something we need to be aware of a lot of it has been overhyped and I think there is a lot of people taking tamiflu etc that don't actually have swineflu but some virus instead.Re: Swine Flu
Blimey that plague sounds nasty MM! Hope it doesn't reach here - esp with all the imports we get from there.Re: Swine Flu
I think it has been a bit overhyped, but am waiting to see how it plays out in the Southern hemisphere's Winter before I get terribly concerned. Right now the mortality rate is nothing like the great pandemic, and it seems to be attacking the young more than us older people. But the flu virus mutates very easily so it might become very serious if it does.Re: Swine Flu
Speaking of Swine Flu, I was really angry this evening, I went shopping at Waitrose about 45 minutes before closing time, I've been doing this to avoid crowds as I'm trying to avoid getting Swine Flu (if its possible). Anyway there wasn't many people in there shopping at all but there was this one man doing his shopping and talking continually on his mobile at the same time and he was continually coughing and sniffing!! He wasn't even covering his mouth up whilst coughing, he was coughing all over the place!!! He was saying whilst talking on his phone "I was sniffling before I went, and now so and so (can't remember what name he said) has started sniffling, and I'm beginning to feel hot". I had a trolly full of food as our cupboards were bare at home so I couldn't just walk out and abandon the trolly but I did try to avoid him as much as I could. If he did have Swine Flu I thought how inconsiderate he was not caring about others in the store shopping, coughing all over everyone!!!!! Lets hope he didn't have it.Re: Swine Flu
