I just have images in my head of Mary Harney in a room with petree dishes of blood samples and a hot metal wire testing the samples.

Replace above with a dozen quarter pounders and some caviar;)

If this swine fever takes hold in Ireland it will be far more deadly than in any other country. We will have no hope with Mary Harney and the HSE running the show. They havn't even issued any masks here yet. This will be like the iodine tablets a few years ago. They reassured us today that they could vaccinate 50% of the country. What about the other half and what are they going to vaccinate us with? Jays Fluid? They have no vaccine as it's a mutated flu virus. My advise would be to stay indoors and wear a mask.

I can't find a Legend for the map.

What justifies the difference in the yellow tags and the pink ones?

Pink markers are suspect
Purple markers are confirmed
Deaths lack a dot in marker
Yellow markers are negative

says so in the left hard corner

Crowd: We need a cure! We need a cure!
Hibbert: Ho ho ho. Why, the only cure is bedrest. Anything I give you would be a placebo.

Woman: [frantic] Where can we get these placebos?

The crowd overturn a truck in search of placebos, but alas the only thing inside is a crate of killer bees.

Man seizes bee, puts it in mouth. “I’m cured! OW!!”

They have enough anti-virals to treat half the country, not vaccinate. And it would be one mighty pandemic if anywhere near to half the country caught it.

No official travel restrictions yet. Just cautioning the general public to avoid the areas unless necessary.

I'd say by June this'll all be over. No need to worry.

They have advise people not to visit affected areas unless it is of immediate urgency so I'd say ur safe enough.
