    i think the swine flu thing has been blow way out of proportion for several reasons!

    - In the area i live if you have the symptoms which could be loads of different things temprature, snezeeing etc they you have swine flu no tests anymore. so if you have normal flu which is also about as a 9 month old baby was in hospital so he was tested and he had normal flu. so there is a lot of normal flu about which will be labelled as swine flu because they are no testing!

    - people will phone there work places and have 2 weeks off all they have to do it phone a doctor and say they have a temp etc and they will write sick notes so people will be abusing the system to get 2 weeks sick leave!

    - hundreds of people die of normal flu we just don't hear about it! Same as with ashtma we just don't hear about it and we are hearing about swine flu constantly!

    - The main thing for me it since the swine flu appeared the news is full or it and coveinently enough those dodge expenses claims have vanished from the news how convient was that!!!
