Whatever happened to swineflu?

MagicMarker

Seriously, a few weeks ago I was sick, everyone I knew was sick. Now everyone is grand, haven't heard about it on the news in a while.

Is there a new 'thing' I don't know about?

No doubt the media are focusing on some other thing that they feel will stir up hysteria better at the moment. Dont worry I'm sure when no other news presents its self Swine flu will be back and wreaking apparent havok with the world once again....

YEs, yes there is. It is called the "if you post another thread about the fookin swine flu, or discuss it in public anymore you will be pulled from your bed in the middle of the night and smaked across the face with a sock filled with sh1te" thing.

Please go away with the swine flu thing.


Please?

Please?

Please?


(no insult intended OP - just sick of the swine flu malarky)

The WHO (World Health Org') is quietly awaiting for it to resurge in the winter months it seems according to more trustworthy reports.

I got my registration pack from Trinity and the first letter in it basically says if you have swine flu, don't come in.

All the little swine floos are biding their time. Quietly. Watching, waiting. Sussing out the best door handles, bannisters, taps, food surfaces of the county's, now quiet, but soon to be teeming, schools. The little floos are very excited. They know it's going to be soon. Very soon. The little summer floos, they was just pussies. Wait till they get a loada me.

Yeah, when the whole thing about the viaduct in Malahide blows over then swine flu will rear its head again I'm sure.

The Swine flu topic is not dead, its just kept hush until the Lisbon referendum. If it gets sanctioned we will all be forced to take the Jab. :eek:

That's a complete lie.

At least you're consistent RTDH.

I don't think it's dead, I've heard reports on it every day.

It's just not as fun to report anymore because we're not having to wheel our dead in wheelbarrows to the local dump.

Latchy

Swine flu has not gone away ,it's just the hysteria has died down for now but will raise up again coming into the winter months .That's when I make sure sky news is OFF .

I woldn't dismiss them totally, it has already been revealed that the jab is linked to the deadly nerve disease called "Guillain-Barre Syndrome"

The letter from the Health Protection Agency, the official body that oversees public health, has been leaked to The Mail on Sunday, leading to demands to know why the information has not been given to the public before the vaccination of millions of people, including children, begins.

It tells the neurologists that they must be alert for an increase in a brain disorder called Guillain-Barre Syndrome (GBS), which could be triggered by the Swine Flu vaccine.

"Doctors have been put on alert for cases of a nerve disease following the introduction of a vaccine for swine flu, it has emerged.

Health chiefs said there was an increased risk of developing Guillain-Barre syndrome after a flu-like illness, but stressed there was no evidence linking it to the vaccination".
