swine flu peoples thoughts

[pinktwink]

work today were preparing for pandemic and increase in absenteeism . I work in health care. Basically if anyone has flu like symptoms they should stay at home. Also have just been reading up on an action plan for buisnesses . Who is most at risk

[noway1]

Pink.I think this swine fu is over-rated.

[noway1]

sorrry,pink,I think some people are making a big deal out of it'

[pinktwink]

yes well i thought that too until I read up om it after discussions today. There is a large number of sufferers in the UK and its increasing here

[ummmm]

Which is worrying for the young, old and vulnerable.

Gramps are most at risk - as school kids are 'dumped' on us for summer hols.

S'pose we gotta make way for next generation!

[noway1]

Whatever happened to the bird flu.and the mad-cow stuff ?

[dabees]

The Flu kills thousands of weak and vulnerable people every year. Swine Flu is just a variant that was created in a lab to test out a suitable drug that would make some more money for the pharmaceutical industry.

I had a heavy cold/Mild Flu last week, and i was no more worried than i have ever been. Any illness is a danger to the weak, Swine flu is no different.

[ummmm]

I've never had the flu or a cold.

[noway1]

do you worry about it pink ?

I dont give a shtie.

anyway pink your too young to worry about this pig-flu.

[pastafreak]

I read that the fit elderly are less at risk than the very young....and young adults...

[ummmm]

Why did they test it out in Mexico Dabees?

I'm a bit cynical as well...!!

[dabees]

What shocks me is peoples paranoia, it's in the media so it must be true.....

30 odd people have died from Swine flu!!!! (in the UK) how many have died from road accidents, work accidents etc in the same period? Lets get some perspective on this so called pandemic....

[dabees]

My best mate is a research chemist Ummmm, he told me about this nearly a year ago.

Mexico...????? It's far easier to manipulate a government that is skint Ummmm. Plus they needed an excuse to remove the focus on the current war on drugs that is prevalent in Mexico. The CIA run all drugs cartels, but the Mexican gangs where starting to make money, the CIA didn't like that.

[pinktwink]

hadnt really thought much about it until i seen the measures been taken in health services to avoid spread. I think i will get the vaccine when available in August. Government will be vacccinated first then frontline medical/healthcare staff thats me!!

[ummmm]

I like that theory.

I'm sceptical by nature.

[dabees]

Please don't Pink, it's just more sh1te added to your body. Why do you think we are in this predicament? We need to get illnesses to be able to build up a natural resilience.

[dabees]

I gave up watching and listening to the popular media 5 years ago Ummmm. I now think for myself, it's very liberating. :-)

[sn�gs]

There was a woman in the pub earlier that had pork chop knees... should I be worried? :-(
