It looks like adding “Swine Flu” as a blog title in a website called “The pig’s ear” had unitentionally racked up my page views…oops…

Seriously? Swine Flu? I saw this when I ventured out to the shop today to get a few essentials (read “toilet roll”). On every paper was a line that basically said “YOU WILL DIE OF SWINE FLU!”. Oh my bloody God! How many kinds of flu scare are we going to have? (Ok I realise that there are many strains of flu) But do the papers have to make it sound like the zombie apocalypse?
Ah…that felt better. Good ol’ rant. OH! One more thing: If someone asks you for a white coffee and a black coffee with milk, surely that is TWO WHITE COFFEES!
Ok, rant is really over now. You may go about your business. Just don’t ask for a coffee.ÂÂ
The funny thing is I was talking to my brother(who’s an RN) last night about this and he says it’s the most ridiculous thing ever. It’s just like any other type of flu, and the deathtoll of people dieing from this aren’t nearly as bad as those who die from the usual flu on a daily basis.
It’s just another story for the media to blow out of proportion and cause everyone to freak out over nothing. Did you know they QUARANTINED a school here in Minnesota because of someone catching it?
I can believe that. Apparently here in the UK the summer music festivals may even get canceled because of it. (How much truth is in that I don’t know, but it sounds like the sort of knee jerk reaction that might happen).
It’s just more noticeable since H1N1 (n1h1?) is killing a different age range to usual flu. that is to say it’s killing the useful taxpaying people rather than the very young and the rather old.
well,its been a few weeks and the zombie….err i mean swine flu apocalypse hasn’t wiped us out yet. looks like the jobs a good un
i’m gonna go crawl back into obscurity for now, wake me when we get to platypus flu, that sounds more interesting.
