Re: Pandemic Flu - This one could be for real......
Mmmmm - even though the advice says don't go to the doctors, just ring up (as if she has it, she will be infecting people with lower resistance).

Re: Pandemic Flu - This one could be for real......
Yes i know but the only thing she hasn't had if you listen to her is death though she claims to have come close many times. Sadly she is one of many that will be seeing more into basic old colds and suchlike thanks to all the headlines.

I dont think its just the media. WHO have just raised the pandemic level from 3 - 4. Its not looking good.

Re: Pandemic Flu - This one could be for real......
And on that note, from boingboing (rest of the article in the link)
"Swine Flu Was Genetically Manipulated to Target Conspiracy Theorists
It's true: If you own a tin hat, you're ten times more likely to contract the virus. Seriously, though, could the Internets please stop forwarding those increasingly out-of-context videos of Dallas County medical director John Carlo? In some recent interviews, Carlo referred somewhat clunkily to culturing samples of H1N1 in the laboratory. This quote is now being used as "evidence" in a delightful meme claiming that H1N1 is a man-made virus, wholly created in the laboratory. As Carlo himself has pointed out, that is not remotely the case. In reality, those video quotes are actually Carlo referring to the common practice of taking samples of a virus and growing it in the lab until you get enough of the virus that you can analyze the thing. That's how researchers learn what makes a specific virus unique and how they figure out ways to combat it. Scientists studying cultured samples of a naturally-occurring virus =/= evil plot to create a man-made super-virus. Please, tell your friends."

- take that gamble, if you want, be justified IF millions of people die, you have no more idea of the true probability of that than any of us, but you just shout louder about the worst case to suit your agenda.
- more people die in road accidents than from swine flu, at present - perspective???

Re: Pandemic Flu - This one could be for real......
Is there such a thing as 'conspiracy theorist's digest'? Some people appear to have it as their main news source...

The whole thing is nonsense.
I would prefer to follow sensible & non-scaremongering news (bit hard at the moment unfortunately), mixed with what I learned during my Molecular & Cellular Biology degree & subsequent nine years working in biotech, than believe a load of half-baked conspiracy theory nonsense about bioweapon tests using manmade chimaeric viruses.
It *does* happen in nature, & not everything is automatically the fault of some sinister NWO
