I am not saying there isn't a possible Flu pandemic, but do I believe it is any more serious than, say, AIDS (which despite being seemingly ignored by the media is still a very dangerous disease)? No, I do not.

Sorry but AIDS is not airbourne. Swine flu clearly is. I agree AIDS is dangerous but you can protect yourself against it. How can you protect yourself and your family from a airbourne virus?

Before this occurs though everyone should be questioning their government on what plans they have to keep this virus out of the UK. Again i ask why are flights still being allowed in and out of Mexico and then onto the UK? If you want this thing to spread thats the best way to go about it.
