Anyone think that after watching Torchwood no way are the government going
to innoculate them against swine flu?

Despite being in at least two 'higher risk' groups I decided several
weeks ago that I don't want the vaccination.

Unless your a doctor, you will not be getting it in the first wave.. If a
lot of doctors die then you know it's something to pass up, if they dont
keel over then you should probably take it ;P.

Never mind the aliens, apparently the total death toll, yes the *total* death
toll so far from this disease has been less than one day's carnage on the
roads. It may be infectious, and it may be "unstoppable", but putting it in
perspective it doesn't seem very harmful, so why all the panic?

Well, I've not watched it, but I've no intention of getting it done. Its
just not a good idea in my view.

Spanish Flu 1919 50 million dead, over double killed in the 1st world war

and that's before airline travel as a means of spreading the infection

That's why

but antibiotics hadn't been invented then. Yes, I know they don't actually
help with the 'flu virus, but they deal with most of the secondary
infections (such as pneumonia) which result.

There have been other major flu outbreaks since - Asian flu 1957 (which I
had) and Hong Kong flu 1968. Nothing like the Spanish flu deathtoll has
resulted

Ah. So the key point you are making is that our government are so dimwitted
and ignorant that they think any flu with a common name that starts with
'S' must be deadly, and they have to spend millions of pounds (of our
money) on that basis?

Is this flu significantly more 'deadly' that the typical types we get most
winters?

Slainte,

Jim

Fit young persons were dead in 48 hours, before secondary bacterial
infections could get started.

Luck, sheer luck that they weren't as deadly
