Its the whole hysteria that gets me, I totally understand they have to contain it but it just smells of bullshit to me.

 

 

 

Spot on.

 

Sky News are a disgrace, 8 cases in Britain alone it said before as if there was only ten of us in the whole country.

 

8 in a nation of over 60m people is a drop in the ocean, 8000 I might say fair enough but 8?

 

Let me know when it gets to 8 million; then I'll give a fuck.

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?

 

I think the main issue is with the media and not the government. In my opinion, the government have taken proactive steps in this and seem to be doing their best to prevent a potential outbreak.

 

The media, on the other hand, seem intent on whipping up a shitstorm of panic and fear. See the war on terror, paedophiles and the recession.

The G20 protests was the worst example of that I've ever seen. They spent weeks telling everyone how bad it was going to be, and then deployed their cameras into the middle of it, ready for when they hoped it would kick off. One report I saw even profiled the leaders of each group who were due to be there that day, and one was a crank uni professor who was basically calling for a riot.

Just playing poker and one of the people on the table had PIG in their username. I'd like to tell you that as I was turning my $10 in $30 I made absolutely no piss poor, swine fever jokes aimed at them.

 

I'd like to tell you that; but it'd be a lie.
