UK goes Oink

Last night it was confirmed. It has now reached the UK. The fearful swine flu.

The Times tells that 152 deaths has been linked to the flu, and in the UK 24 cases are being investigated at the moment - with fear of being carrying the disease.

So is this really anything to worry about? That's always my first thought when a 'big event out of nowhere' appears in the newspapers. Is it something that might develop to something as gruesome as the 'Spanish flu' pandemic in the 1918-19? Any similarities to the H5N1 'Bird flu' that scared people all over the globe some five years ago? Or is it just the world that has gone attention seeking?

I'm afraid I do not have the answer the world's population would like to have. I'm afraid the WHO hasn't either. Nor the media. Absolutely not the media. But until we will know for sure the actual outcome of this frightful pig disease, we will just have to wait and see.

And, yeah, by the way - Now I'll be able to take a football break without my boyfriend going mental cause of his team not doing well enough! Nottingham Forest will still be in the Championship next season, thanks to Reading-Barnsley 2-0 last night. Thanks Reading! You guys saved my summer!
