yes, many a true word spoken in jest !!!
one good thing if you keep politicians is you can at least claim for two lots of housing each !!!!
http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/newsnight/susanwatts/2009/04/experts_concerned_about_potent.htmlthe latest news is that the number of dead has gone upto 81 in Mexico now. As far as I can make out, only 20 are confirmed swine flu deaths so far. With lots of luck it will all fade out over the next week or so . However, it now seems that this has been building with little being done for a few weeks now. It is a very hard thing to do though , speak to soon and you are panicking the population, leave it too late and you are burying them !!!! The steps taken from now on will help to stop it spreading any further ....but how many people have traveled the world, in the last few weeks, after visiting Mexico ? I know I spoke to one , and they had just left a shop with another 10 people in ,and there were two delivery vans there, so the drivers were then going on to more shops all over the place, and the day before they had been in Tesco's in Carmarthen...so at least a couple of hundred possible contacts there....and then they all go home and that number multiplies by 3 , 4 or 5 times . Then they go to work or school or uni ......and then of course back to the supermarket again ....you can see how easy it is to spread from one or two , to thousands in just a day or two. All that could have happened before we even heard about it !!!! Anyway , my symptoms seem to have cleared up now , I hate getting flu of any kind , as I had Hong Kong flu in '68 . I was really bad with it too . To ill to move to hospital at the time. I seem to get a version of asian flu every few years since then , so I must be susceptable to it ....I haven't had it for some time now soooooo
cheers
