# Oh dear, another random disease for us to get hysterical about
probably as overhyped as foot & mouth always is.
Well, never mind, have a Charlton Heston Bukake Time pea to take your mind off it:

# Probably hiding out of shame!
Tho I must say I'm dead chuffed with mesen, I only recently figured out how to do movie-to-animated-GIF transitions and I've been doing lots since, this is about my 7th I think, and if I say so myself, I'm getting pretty good at adding/subtracting stuff within them, I'm esp chuffed with the huge white 'splat' on the wall behind Charlton!

Tee hee hee!

# Actually,
It is a bit more worrying as they have no idea 1) how it is spread, 2) how to cure it, 3) how to contain it.

There's quite a lot of evidence that it is carried by midges, but there's an unexplained reservoir effect, whereby uninfected midges arrive in an uninfected area, acquire the disease and start spreading it.

# It's nothing new, it's been around since the 18th century,
We actually know it very well, it's seasonal in many warmer climes, and it's non harmful to humans, it's just new to here and the tabloids and we'll have to start inocculating our livestock like everyone else does.

Or alternatively run around like headless chickens and burn them like witches. We'll probably go for the latter option under media pressure, we usually do.

# I know,
it's a personal bugbear of mine just how much we're run by them, and how easily the general public and even the BBC join in blindly with the latest scary hysteria made to keep us all frightened and worried and buying newspapers.

It'll be gone in about a month when the weather gets cold and we'll have made our own vaccine supplies come next summer. No need to panic.

*edit* plus it's flu like with conjuctivitus and very low deaths. Wow, run, that sheep looks tired and sleepy eyed, eeeeeeeeek!!
