Oh dear.

If I recall correctly wasn't HIV supposed to be a man made virus too? Again not a particularly good effort.

Was SARS man made? how about H5N1?

Or is every Virus man made according to you???

The chances are this swine flu, SARS, Bird Flu have been around for thousands of years. The only difference between now and then is our ability to travel to anywhere on the globe within 24hrs.

If this virus had broken out two hundred years ago (which it probably has) the chances are it would have been a localised infection and not got out of the village.

If an Englishmen had caught it, by the time he had reached home he'd either be better or dead.

It's just flu, a nasty one, but if your fit and healthy chances are you'll be ok.

Do some research. there have been 150 or so deaths. So what?

Even in non-epidemic years as many as 3,000 to 4,000 excess deaths are attributable to flu in the UK.3 During epidemics this level is much higher - for example during the epidemic of 1989-90 there were almost 30,000 excess deaths in Great Britain attributable to flu4
That's from the UK Vaccine Industry- every year as many as UK 3 to 4 thousand deaths are attributable to flu.

I don't see people running round with masks thinkjing it's the end of the world every year???

Get a grip and get real.
