We may as well stop all flights around the world. Lets face it the world economy is F***** already so i cant see it doing any harm.

The World Health Organisation have just said that this Swine Flu strain could become more dangerous.
It's quite possible for this virus to evolve... when viruses evolve, clearly they can become more dangerous to people," said Keiji Fukuda, of the global health watchdog.
Mr Fukuda also called for international vigilance as health experts wait to see whether the virus will turn into a worldwide pandemic.
