Spot on really, they love to cause mass panic at least once a year or more.

Millenium bug (never happened)
SARS (never really left Asia and now we don't even hear about it)
9/11 (one other terror attack on the west since then)
Iraq's nukes (LOL)
Iran's nukes (LOL)

You forgot VM`s promises!

"There were a few humorous people on the stairways saying, 'This is the apocalypse. First the swine flu, and now this.' "

However, most people were in "high spirits,"

What does it take to get these people down?

Re: Pandemic Flu - This one could be for real......

Well in the space of a few hours i have managed to get a sore throat and runny nose but i think it is just the common cold so still not panicking right now nuking it with a triple lemsip and a generous dash of whiskey always does the trick and if i have enough of them i sleep through most of the illness :). Next door neighbour has already booked a doctors appointment because she coughed and it didn't sound normal to her :rolleyes: though there are many reasons why swine flu might feel at home with her.
