..........................................................I realise we should be warned about various illnesses that can spread very easily but don't you think the media love it?

They are not content unless they are trying to frighten us all to death with stories of pandemics where millions of people could die.

Imo they just make a bad situation even worse by causing panic.

Jean.

Yeh I think the media love it :) Seems a great hooey over not very much to me

Very true Jean - however!!!! best be forwarned, don't yer think?

Uggers - be afraid, be very afraid love - 'tis coming and it's all man-made))))))

We fly to Mexico on the 13th of May travel agents says all is fine, i hope so cost us a fortune and so looking forward to getting away and leaving troubles behind.

Yeah Jac... forewarn by all means but hecky thump love they do go over the top a bit don't you know :)

Ay Jean - I was watching the news channel today at the hospital with friend, and every two blooming minutes they were updating the death rate and the possible numbers of those who have contracted the disease together with the countries affected. Very good viewing I thought for those patients waiting for treatment!!!

I have seen documents regarding Bird Flu though, and it makes frightening reading and now I'm retired I wont be in line for a jab(((((

Hey ho........................tomorrow it will be some MP's expenses again I expect))))

I got fed up running away from sparrers last time...

I hear they attack like falcons Uggers! you keep away from them sparrers)))))

I personally think its brill when the media hype up all these animal related illnesses, cos the more fearful members of society stop eating said animal and it gets cheaper to buy ;o)

Where do you buy cheap Sparrers Jax? ))))))

lol Jax how mercenary is that:))

Jac, my sparrers are my mates, bless em:)

Down the farmers market 6 for a pound lol

We have been back from our holiday from an South American country since 31st March and my sister is still ill and I mean ill I am worried sick about her, she has had that many tests and they still can not find whats up with her...

That's cheap Jax - get me a couple of dozen when they come in, will you? Ta! ))))

Them sparrers Uggers, are your "mates"??? bit like the vermin under yer hedge then eh? )))))

Well I do descend from pirates David, what do you expect lol

Hayley - sorry to hear your sister is poorly - has she been tested for intestinal worms? sounds gruesome, but apparently these can infiltrate the body via the skin, and cause all sorts of problems.


Jac xxx

Whilst I would agree that the press play it to the hilt, and I have had a flu and pnumonia jab, I won't 'be going out for a while. My immune system is not very good, and you don't know who'se in the queue at M .... isons, next to you, do you.

edited coz I sound a right morbid cow..lol

That's not so funny, Hayley - hope they sort her out soon

No it aint funny Hayley - I knew someone who had a holiday in Africa once and came back and was poorly for over a year before they found out what it was - not funny at all, when your holiday is supposed to have done you good, and you are then poorly!

Could they contact the Hospital of Tropical Medicines (in Liverpool I think) and ask their opinion?
