I guess the MSM didn't get tired of creating mass-hysteria out of nothing, but maybe they just decided to create mass-hysteria out of a different sort of nothing. <br /><br />I was speaking to Mum on the phone on the weekend and she mentioned there'd been a 'swine' outbreak in Dunedco. Though apparently it was the flu she was talking about, I had a vision of pigs running loose throughout the town, a kind of running of the bulls - with pigs.TimThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10333303180015967125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7529903.post-57194613924372560162009-08-02T18:41:26.112+10:002009-08-02T18:41:26.112+10:00Once the swine flu hysteria dies down, after the g...Once the swine flu hysteria dies down, after the government doses of swine flu, I'm worried that the other flus might get given even more sinister names, such as, rabid donkey flu, maggot flu, the this-could-be-the-end-of-you flu.Ruby Isabellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05338355478094548333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7529903.post-64882222956504704992009-08-01T23:38:04.756+10:002009-08-01T23:38:04.756+10:00Real flu is not much fun.

I still vividly remember lying on the floor in front of my nice gas heater, drifting in and out of consciousness for several hours before coming to the conclusion that I was, in fact, dying. <br /><br />After another couple of hours it occurred to me that I had the flu. I felt rather stupid about the whole dying scenario thing, but then again, 3000 or so Aussies die from seasonal flu each year ... hey, I <i>could</i> have died. <br /><br />I have been religious about getting flu vaccinations ever since. <br /><br />So, you know, you're welcome to take my gov't issue dose of swine flu, in addition to your own dose, although I really wouldn't wish either dose upon you.Cazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17387674413840435759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7529903.post-17823080159881823922009-08-01T20:39:52.146+10:002009-08-01T20:39:52.146+10:00I can't seem to catch any kind of flu either, ...I can't seem to catch any kind of flu either, Dan.
