    Bad flu epidemics can hit young adults hardest because they provoke their powerful immune systems into overreaction, so to stay healthy spend the next few weeks drunk and sleep-deprived to keep yours suppressed.

    :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:

    be careful people. this could get super serious.:eek:

    I think anyone coming from a return flight from either country should be chucked into an incinerator, just to make sure. Harsh and drastic but needed.

    Yea, i would endorse the call to avoid mexico at all costs. Way to hot.

    America not so much, just keep out of the bible belt or you'll end up like Overheals family

    Damn! I was being really careful but, through no fault of my own, I suddenly found myself in Mexico kissing a pig. I feel such a fool.

    How the feck are you supposed to be 'careful' ??!?!

    Jeeze, I really feel for the poor ould Mexicans at the moment...

    from the bbc:

    "We Mexicans are not used to living with so much fear, but all that is happening - the economic crisis, the illnesses and now this - it feels like the Apocalypse."

    Also, anyone else hear rumours that the HSE are investigating a case?

    A mere seismic shift caused by 300 million yanks stampeding toward Canada simultaneously.

    1,614 cases, with 103 deaths

    That's still a 6% death rate, barely 1% higher then pneumonia.

    The issue is, it seems to be spreading much more rapidly than pneumonia.

    The new strain is a reassortment of multiple other known strains, including one avian flu strain.

    RTE Newsflash:

    Tamiflu vaccine stockpile is to be distributed to TDs, Senators, their cronies, senior Civil Servants, HSE critical personnel, and Boards.ie Subscribers. The MD of Boards, a Mr DeVore, has informed us just now that the Subscription List has been closed.

    I bet the mods'll be pissed off about that :D

    And a plea to everyone:

    For god's sake call it Pig Flu. Swine Flu sounds stupid. When Avian Flu was around we called it Bird Flu, right?

    Personally I'm calling it The Piggy Sniffles.
