We are coming out of the normal time of year when we have flu circulating in the UK so we don’t really know what size of epidemic there may be in the next couple of months.

The problem with the media is that it exaggerates things.. SARS, bird flu, alert types, etc. so for many, now it’s akin to ‘boy who cried wolf’… could this be the wolf though?

Cautious is one thing…paranoia another. I am happy for the public announcements that are out to remind people to wash their hands….ewwww but clearly the reminders are necessary.

I am sad for those that have died, but they are making me nuts with all this. Sure, people should be cautious…wash their hands and that kind of thing, but they are acting like it’s anthrax and it’s coming to all our mailboxes.

@Nithya I was watching the news earlier, and I think some people wanted UK to not allow flights from Mexico. However, the decision was ruled out. I had a great laugh. I can't believe people would bother that much. Then, I got some great logical people I know and said, "People die from Malaria and other known epidemics in the thousands per day. Why no one bothers about that?"

Ahaha this made me smile, I was doing play therapy at the hospital today. This five year old got annoyed with the kid hogging the bubble blower so tried telling the nurses “he has swine flu, you have to lock him up!” But on a serious note, it’s not even a proper problem in the UK but the hospital’s usual stockist had actually sold out of surgical masks. What the hell? There’s no need for people to wander round in masks but surgeons DO need them, chill out folks!

like a reason to fear and hold onto this precious, but meaningless life…hah
or just another reason for the pharmaceutical companies to cash in on.
