    Yes.

    I'm afraid you will need to be put down. Please go to your nearest GP for the shot.

    Re: swine flu.... are you worried?

    It's less deadly than bird flu apparently, 2% would die, but its easier to catch.
    In the internets, no one can hear you sarcasm.

    Re: swine flu.... are you worried?

    The cynic in me, thinks this is some sort of ploy by the pharmaceutical companies to flog more tamiflu.

    But shares soared in drug companies, including GlaxoSmithKline, and medical glovemakers. Shares of Top Glove, the world's largest listed rubber latex glovemaker, jumped more than 8% to 5.95 ringgit on the Malaysian stock exchange.


    Anyhow I'm not worried atm, only when the death toll reaches about 200 and the majority of them are young and healthy then I will be a little concerned.

    I hear you can cure it by sleeping with your feet in a saucepan of umbongo overnight.
