Don't want to belittle what is obviously a serious situation, but all this panic being peddled in the media is absolute golddust to the 'Jeremy Kyle' section of society, who seem to thrive on any little crumb of hysteria.
To put things in perspective, there is a flu bug going around, which has the potential to affect around half of us.....The same thing happens every winter, though because we have given this one a funny name, we are choosing to react like we are being struck down with some apocolyptic nightmare-style disease.
Get well soon all those who are truly affected, but living with somebody who works in the NHS, I can assure you that plenty of supposed cases are nothing more than hypochondriacs with a touch of the sniffles, who just insist on making the NHS's already difficult job an impossible one.

Or he could just say 'no'. |

I don't believe in swine flu, its all a load of overhype by the press. They said everyone was gonna get bird flu and it never happened.

| Quote: slimwire66 "a bit judgemental?'" It may seem it but its no different to when your out and about somewhere and someone tells you they have flu but they are at work/rugby/shopping etc and generally getting on with life as normal - which anyone who has had flu knows you can't do.
If you have flu you know about it but some people do tend to say they have when they just have a bit of a cold. |

Not really, because the Jeremy Kyle section of society is only interested in two mooses fighting over a bloke who looks like Steve Buscemi's less attractive brother and finding out when little Chantelle Lola Chelsea is due and who is the daddy. |

 ....It's cases like this that I was on about in my first post on this subject.
You reckon you have had it since last Thursday, but are still not sure????....Honestly pal, if you had flu you would know about it, and wouldn't have spent the last 5 or 6 days still no sure.... |

| Quote: The Angry Pirate "
i must be honest, i work in A&E and do see over anxious people coming in all the time concerned their kids or they themselves have "swine" flu.
the question i ask is can you blame them? no
apart from ignoring all the advice to stay at home that is 
but being a parent i understand their fears tbh, sending a poxy flyer through peoples door is not the most efective means of spreading health care advice, stick it on the advert break when "corrie" is on is a darned more effective method. that on one side, people have different expectations of what flu is and it has different impacts on different people.
one mans man flu is anothers beubonic plague!

If I get the symptoms, I'm off to see Dr Gregory House M.D. he'll diagnose it straight away and confirm that it's linked to a Choc Dip I ate in 1987.

But like you said I can fully understand people panicking after the fuss that has been made especially in the media
