Call me skeptical, but this will blow over within 12 months and then there will be another flu/virus scare. Is it possible to catch the flu from a fish? Cod flu?

The declaration of pandemic level 6 by the WHO is a major step. Countries can now close their borders without notice. No one in and no one out! Some here think this is a joke or a media event, think again. You may be stuck at that beer bar forever

I cannot remember how many times teacher friends of mine have complained about kids coming into school coughing and spluttering with colds and giving it to the entire classroom.
Wouldn't it be prudent for the govt and schools to advise parents not to send their kids to school if they are sick? I know it is obvious, but unless kids are on their death bed, parents tend to send their kids to school here as opposed to letting them stay at home. This would probably explain why there are such quick increases in the numbers of school kids getting this virus. It appears to be in the general population now, the numbers will rise very fast. #30

All this coverage of swine flu, like SARS before it, is a ?!?! joke. To get it in perspective, if all the previous SARS and the current H1N1 deaths were added together, they wouldn't total the average number of road deaths in Thailand in Songkran week.
Can't we all waste time talking about something interesting like the medias other current baby, ie. the World Cup ia only one year away. So What? Christmas is only 6.5 months away. Get real. #31

What seems to go unapreciated by many is the fact that ACTION against these recent diseases
stopped the spread and prevented them going more widespread into pandemics, and saved lives. 100 years ago they would have run much more freely and wildly, and one glaring example is 1918. #32
