My throat's a little sore
And I feel warm. Clearly I have a fever and should go home for two weeks bed rest.

Isn't Birmingham
supposed to have the highest amount of cases? I'm surprised you haven't had it already

I loved that this morning on GMTV
penny whatsherface had the audacity to ask the shadow health minister if things were just being hyped up too much. From a programme which practically has their presenters orgasming over how bad swine flu is.

Really fucks me off. It's a fucking bug, you'll probably get it, you'll feel shit for a week or so and then you'll go back to work. A very tiny percentage of people who get it will die. That's sad, but if they die they are clearly weak specimens and would have died of something else soon enough.

I like how giving a name to a flu strain rather than a letter number combo
instantly makes people freak out. Statistically you're more likely to die from the seasonal one than any of the major "panics" of recent years.

And indeed you're 46%
more likely to die in a Badger Vagina related falling injury than from the flu.
