Ahhhh

[Requin]

Oh nooey.

Now what? Nothing. Probably nothing will happen, all there doing is scaring more people. Reminds you how vunerable you are as a human.

On a side note why did they call their organization WHO. I bet there's a doctor in there. So he's a doctor for WHO.

i dont believe all the hype i think the media need something to report so have embilished the truth yes people have died but many people have gotton over it. yes it has been declared a global pandemic but its not bad in ireland i think there was 4 cases and that was it. hope i did not offend anyone

[Requin]

I've left anyway....so I don't care.

But I would have exams so I would still have to go in. :(
And really? How many incidents have you had where you are? There's been quite a few down here. Schools would only close if you had someone who caught it.

^To the dude above: I don't know, we have a lot going on in the UK right now, there's enough stories here to fill up papers for months, let alone in a week.

Bah, i don't understand why every1 is so afraid of this flu so much, i mean normal human flu kills 250.000-500.000 ppl a year, this is just overreaction, such things will happen every time a new desiese comes, it's unavoidable.....

Oh btw, school is is over here in Croatia :) You in UK, SUFFER!!!!!!!

[scuba steve]

to be honest they're making way to much a fuss about this virus, i mean on average 30,000 people die from regular flu and from the outbreak to 17th june there's only been like 164 recorded deaths in about 6 months

Hey if you know what happened with Spanish Flu..

There was a pandemic.

It was like this before, then three years later it mutated and it was absolutely huge. Fifty million people died.

We shouldn't forget that.

[scuba steve]

yes those are the fears for the winter that it's going to mutate into something far more serious

People need to get it through their heads that "pandemic" means widespread infection, not "apocalyptic death flu".
