Killer Flu...

Only Mexicans seem to die from it and for that reason alone, I'm not too worried. Bad luck Mexicans but as long as I'm OK, I really don't care.

 

 

It's because Mexicans have more in common genetically with pigs than with humans. There's no real evidence for this, but it is scientific fact.

Turned out to be a mexican kid who had travelled to the US.

 

It was a Mexican kid, visiting family in America. It's really weird.

 

It was actually a Mexican Baby that had travelled to the US.

 

It was a Mexican visiting family in America, you know.

 

You sure?

I'd like to thank Mexicans for taking one for the team and being the one's who get wiped out. I'm sure you'll have a small plaque made to honour you all and stuck somewhere out of sight so we will remember than you once existed.

 

Peru, I'm looking at you as being next in line for future illness. You're least likely to be missed. Maybe the Welsh can be after them.

Yet another panic story to keep you scared and consuming.

 

If Al-Qeada dont blow you up, the credit crunch will ruin you financially and then now you have this to worry about.

 

If you die you die, end of. Life's too short.

 

Well said, I remember being scared of the OXO brothers when I was a kid, they never did me any harm

I'm bemused as to why people brush this off as just another scare story???

 

If it was allowed to spread, the results could be catastrophic. If the governments just ignored it, then people would complain, and now that they're raising concerns and making more anti-viral medicines, people are still complaining.

 

What can they do to look good in peoples eyes?

Silvah, it's the way the press are treating it. Instead of just giving a balanced view of it and saying anyone presenting with symptoms should just seek medical help as it's clearly treatable, they are instead peddling stories of doom and mass extinction. And I'm fucked off with it. I want a return to the days when the news sought out facts, not told everyone they're going to die. We've imported this sensationalist nonsense from US news channels and it's shit.

An interesting take on the situation mate...
