Swine Flu: What is Going To Happen in Britain

Jul 23

Swine flu has been in the news more or less constantly lately. Even though the disease is mild in many people, some could potentially face critical illness.

The Swine Flu is a combination of four known strains including Avian flu, Human Influenza and two other viruses. 

Here’s a reminder on how to avoid catching the flu:

Wash Hands Frequently

Carry a Hand Sanitizer with you

Avoid touching public handles

Avoid crowds, or if you cant, wearing nasal filters and surgical mask may decrease the risk

The NHS is planning for up to 65,000 deaths from swine flu, with 30 per cent of the population – and 50 per cent of children – catching the infection.
A vaccine is likely to be available this fall, until then, stay healthy!

    Many people catch flu every year and people die but it’s good to create a panic and then they can use all the doses of Tamiflu (which has side effects and may not even be effective against H1N1) before the date limit expires. They can then put in an order for billions more doses and the only winners are the manufacturers.
