Subject: Pig flu
I think i have swine flu - all week i've been coming out in rashers
you should read back about three pages and 2 weeks ago...
Does anyone really take this swine flu seriously? Whenever anyone sneezes or coughs in the office we just say "swine flu".
Curiously, it is looking quite likely that I actually do have it! lol after loads of test they still arent sure though...
And no, it isn't that serious. Potentially cross species flu can be disasterous - see Spanish flu in 1918 - but nowadays you would have to be very unlucky or stupid or already ill to die of flu.

Are you suggesting the Spaniards are a different species?
dj - rubbish, give up the stand up.
wop - not the spanish people as the flu was only named that as the hearty Spanish were neutral in WW1 and so had no news blackouts in place and reported it first. I think it was supposed to come from China(?) originally. The different species were the birds that the H1N1 came from in the first place. Like all good comic book villains, it was the mutation that gave it it's powers!

That's ok then. I was wondering if I'd have to log in as my spanish alter ego and argue with you.
For the safety of humanity you'll have to postpone your regular trips to the far east to fraternise with wildfowl.
