While some of those who have died have underlying medical conditions, there are many also who dont have an underlying medical condition. And what would be the % of population who dont have an underlying medical condition. We have one of the highest asthma numbers in the civilised (theres a laugh for ya) world, this is a FLU, traditionally flus affect the breathing organs, so those who have breathing difficulties, may well feel bloody terrible. Comparisons may well be able to be made with the 1900 flu, but things were very different then, this is NOT the same flu, we live in a very different world. Im still hearing people on the radio or on tv saying they have the flu and they are still at work, they have no idea what flu, neither do they give a rats arse about those who work alongside them, asthmatics and those with small children at home etc. There is also numbers out that appear to show men as one of the categories that are getting it wore than some others, though I suspect thats more about 'man-flu' and the 'poor me' syndrome :D |

| 782699 | 2009-07-06 23:36:00 | Another great argument for telecommuting!! Glad I work from home now (even though the kids and other half could bring it home from one of their frequent forays into the outside world)... At least it's less likely that I'll unknowingly pass it on - if I'm sick, I'm at home anyway. | johcar (6283) | ||

| 782701 | 2009-07-09 05:12:00 | Suit yourself Twelvevolts, I'm going with my gut feeling and what I have read about the Spanish flu on the Wiki and elsewhere on the web. Let's see what happens as we get into Spring this year. It's not likely to spread in New Zealand outside the main flu season, so more likely the Northern Hemisphere will cop the results of any mutations from these flu party nutters. |

| 782702 | 2009-07-09 07:49:00 | A Swine 'flu party could be quite hard to organise. What can you give to a virus? And these virus critturs are pretty small, so where are you going to get really teeny tiny party hats? At least they won't drink and drive, so you could lay on a couple of drops of grog and really let those little virii kick up whatever they use for heels. Whee! |
