birmingham is certainly the swine flu capital of England Eeker


Oh China Disappointed there does seem to be a proportionally higher rate of swine flu in West Mids (in particular Brum) than anywhere else. Have to say though I think I'd rather get it now and have my body able to defend against it as it's a weaker strain atm than wait for it to mutate in the winter and be much more virulent Nod

My biggest concern is that if it does become more virulent in the winter, and hundreds of thousands of people start falling ill, the struggling economy is going to take such a hit. If that many people can't work, how do we cope?

Schools and businesses are going to close for periods when their workers and students fall ill. Hell, some people may grow too afraid to work and instead stay at home.

Fingers crossed that things don't progress that far.

the media are desperate for some big killer virus to kick off. i reckon they're clutching at straws with this one.


Totally agree.
From what I've heard it's actually milder than average seasonal flu..albeit a potential killer for the elderly,kids,immunosuppressed,etc.
