    Tamiflu wont knock out resistant strains, meaning theres a risk of things getting even WORSE by taking these things.

    It aint no miracle cure.

    I wonder how much money Gilead Sciences will be making when the demand for Tamiflu sky rockets.

    Texas Governor Rick Perry requested 37,430 doses of Tamiflu from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention following the outbreak of the Swine Flu.

    Guess who the director of Gilead Sciences is?

    50 suspected cases of this now in the UK, not from Animal to Human, from Human to Human.

    1 sneeze in a busy area can affect 150 people within 5 minutes, this is really worrying.

    apparently there isnt any infections in the northeast yet, however if a sneeze can infect 150 people in one area, i can imagine this is going to get worse... really quickly.

    My mate just told me this joke at work, it's pretty cringe worthy it's that bad!!

    "Mexican swine comes running up to the Dr and says....Doc, am sure I've got swine flu, I've come out in rashes"

    Some how I don't think Hallmark will be using this for any of it's funny cards!

    Remember my combibactor infection in 07 Enviromental Health tracked me personally and informed me I had infected at least "800 people all of whom had attended Digital Nightclub"

    THATS ME, ONE NIGHT IN DIGITAL WITH A FOOD POSIONING VIRUS. ME ONE NIGHT = 800 INFECTED, My dad later said they said on the phone 1000+

    Imagine what this could do..

    The only fatalities have been in Mexico, where the virus has travelled outside of Mexico, symptoms have been mild and easily treated. Advice from the UK Government Health Protection Agency is that for most people the illness is mild and is treatable with anti-viral drugs.

    Symptoms
     These are similar to those of normal seasonal flu and can include:
     Fever (temperature of above 38 degrees Celsius)
     Fatigue
     Lack of appetite
     Coughing and sore throat
     Diarrhoea and vomiting (though this is rare)

    Treatment
    This is available from your Doctor. The virus (H1N1) is sensitive to and can be treated with antiviral drugs of which there is a plentiful supply in the UK




    Stop panicing.

    Mark Maitland was also "certified" and contained after a brush with me :lol:

    Enviro Heath dont fuck about like when the tests came back they where in my street speaking to neighbours and trying my house until they got me but id already fucked back off to spain, "he will have infected the whole plane" was their reply :cry:

    Mad how they find shit out tho.... I can only imagine they give people attending hospital questionaires and then just see when everyone has been ie. the same curry house or in this case Nightclub.

    Imaigne how shit hot they are on this

    I think they have stopped all flights now... they are letting UK residants fly home, but they are screened as they enter.
