Young and healthy adults. Well I'm ok Jack.

Flu (Influenza) is a strange one, and the 1918-19 pandemic hit Europe at the end of a major war with food shortages etcetera. As we have access to better health care and are generally better nourished (obese?) it shouldn't be a real problem here... :-\

If we listened to everything the media told us we wouldnt ever leave the house! Birdflu was supposed to be the worst thing since the plague and came to nothing? Get on and have a nice holiday just steer clear of the pork ;D

It was the same for me when the mad cow disease was happening, worried me to death, don't know why because i came through it all right. It's just scratching my head on fences and eating grass that's puzzling ;D

well the Government has shown itself to be useless at everything else. Let's see if they can actually do something important right for a change - stopping everyone from dying

if all the young and healthy people die - who's left to pay off all the Debt then?

Just caught the end of a story on GMTV and it seems manchester airport have just stopped flights to mexico this morning!! A couple had booked for there honeymoon and couldnt go!

I do think that flights to and from Mexico should be very restricted. Not a panic move. Just a precaution. No good waiting to see what happens. If it proved unnecessary so what. Better safe than sorry.

I'm worried, because if it gets to a killer stage the government might deem the inhabitants of the Isle of Wight expendable again .

They did not give a (rhymes with duck) about us when there was a SARS scare. they just stuck all the suspected infected lot down here!

I for one will keep my eye on the situation and the first hint of shipping them here, I will organising a blockade at the ferries. I am not going to be treated like shite again.

by the look of your avatar ACE, I think you've already got it

let's hope we can still joke about it in a month's time, by the way

Hi Justy, Hi all :)

We are watching the situation with interest as we are booked on a trip to Sandiego, (which is 50 miles from Mexican border) Disneyland California and Disneyworld Florida etc, etc in July. (Are you off to Disney ??), we will be flying and using trains in the States. I called the insurance company and we seem to be OK for a refund if we can`t go.
We have already ordered a box of surgical masks and alcohol hand wash stuff. Soon I will panic buy some rice and pasta. I`m ok for fruit and veg ;D

I`m not worried just interested and cautious.

Whats the betting that MP's are first in queue for vaccination. I am very worried for my grandchildren and other relatives I do not trust this lot in power to tell us the truth about anything going on.

I was always reminded that worrying wasn't worth it with the following.

If you worry you die....
If you don't worry you die...

So what is the point of worrying?

Don't the press enjoy winding us up all the time, so should we all put ourselves into a plastic bubble and hope to survive swine flu, Oh come on get yourself a life.

ACE · « **Reply #38 on:** April 29, 2009, 07:38:25 »

HELP I THINK I HAVE CAUGHT IT!

I woke up this morning covered in rashers.

The only thing that worries me about this is the fact that live virus has been airlifted into the south of England to develop a vaccine! Dont trust those fellas to keep it secure, remember the escape of the .......whatsitsname.... And when they go a get a vaccine (3 weeks) it will take the manufacturers about 4 months to develop enough ....... Think I'll wear a Dettol saturated yashmak rather than trust that lot!

I had my flu jab last autumn and I'm not going anywhere near Mexico and I didn't catch SARS when travelling through the Far East to Australia years ago.

If I get it, I get it. Fate.....
