Piggy Flu

DONT PANIC! DONT PANIC! Piggy Flu is coming.
There's nothing better for the news media, than a good old scare story. The government must be loving it, as it diverts attention away from the cock ups that they and the banks have made with our economy. How serious is the risk to us in reality? Probably not much. About 150 deaths in Mexico, but in that time, how many have died prematurely of Cancers, road accidents etc? But I expect holidays to Mexico will be cancelled, and more airlines and holiday companies will go bust. Pork sales will drop. A few cases in Europe, and all recovering well. We have enough medicine for half the population - that's reassuring init?
Remember SARS and bird flu? They came to nothing, and so will this.
A message to the mews media: "Shut up and put things into proportion"
Anyway, I've not been well. "Achoo! Oink Oink"
