NO - three people who had swine flu as well as other health issues have died - not necessarily of swine flu. You've been caught out by typical media reporting.

MEDIA FUD !!

NO ONE has died of swine flu, it's a mild cough, slight dizzyness and diorrea !!

Meant mumps above, don't have kids so not up on all the trying to get rid of them methods.

dxmedia:
Sorry, think I might have been wrong, found that there might have been 7 confirmed deaths globaly due to swine flu.

36000 due to infuenza last year
777000 people died of measles worldwide in 2000
3000 of malaria last week
A guess of 123 000 000 have died in car accidents.


Still a big issue is it?

I reckon a lot of people have it without even knowing it!

A bit of Delhi belly (after the take away) and felling groggy (after what washes the curry down) is a regular occurance for me  :lol:

But to be serious, it is interesting how something like this can travel around the world so quickly. There is no doubting it's a pandemic. But the media make the word 'pandemic' sound like it's the end of the world.
