Well that's what I thought, Capsid. But then a chap at work - who seemed to be keeping himself 'in the know' - swore he'd read that it twas the other one. I'm really going to have to look up the information myself (thanks for the link) rather than relying on others, it's starting to confuse me no end.

You should never rely on anecdotes, word of mouth etc. Even Wikipedia is not entirely reliable.Originally posted by bluemoon View PostWell that's what I thought, Capsid.

Capsid and Bluemoon,
OK, so it's H1N1 at the moment, H5N1 is what you get if you play football with a dead infected chicken and nobody really knows what strain caused the 1918 pandemic, but it'll be a different coloured lego block to the one we have now.
Simplistic, but basically accurate?!?
HMK (I do like the lego analogy!)
