Two people have been admitted to hospital in Scotland after returning from Mexico with flu like symptoms, nothing to worry about though apparently. Its amazing how fast things like this can spread though isnt it.Life isnt about surviving the storm.....But learning to dance in the rain.Comment

Why is it worrying? The UK government (and French I'm pleased to say) have huge stocks of the anti-viral that deals with it. And there are no major cases outside Mexico, those in the UK and elsewhere are either described as mild or once past the hype, as not being swine flu at all. And there have been no deaths outside Mexico so with people on 'alert' any potential case of flu, swine or other, is going to be picked up quickly.Originally posted by allotmentlady View PostSwine Flu worrying isnt it and a mutual friend of ours is in new york where 8 cases have been confirmed!
There is a view in many of the professional sites and comments that this could be another avian flu scare, lots of hype and at the end of the day, very little happening actually.
Far too much scaremongering going on, even the US government is saying their actions are just precautions and the WHO are saying don't panic - so don't panic!
If I were a gardener, I'd be much more worried about getting tetanus by not taking the simple precaution of getting a precautionary jab and then having the decennial booster.TonyF, Dordogne 24220Comment

Actually it is 20 million, so yes, loads of scaremongering, and the WHO leading on the panicking, which is why governments have to react. (After all, they cried fire so many times over avian flu, didn't they?)Originally posted by pigletwillie View PostComment

If the Government had huge stocks of anti-viral to deal with it, then they must have known about it? Can't stock it overnight can they? So if this so called 'swine flu' is real and serious etc etc then an early warning would have been put out and measures put in place. Sorry, just don't buy the whole 'swine flu' pandemic rubbish! Not having a go at you Tony or anything
