Default Swine Flu ~ Is your Country doing enough to protect you??


It seems to be getting bad in the UK

Up to 65,000 people could die from the disease in Britain
More than 55,000 new cases recorded in a week
30 per cent of the population could be infected
1 in 8 workers to take time off
New National Flu Service launched to manage outbreak
Cherie Blair among those suspected to be infected with virus

In the UK things seem to be taking a back seat, with the Government claiming that everyone will be protected by March/April 2010. Thats if we're still alive

Whats your Goverment doing and is it doing Enough??

Should people buy drugs from the internet?? whats the best course of action and unlike other scares ~ Bird Flu, SARS, Aids, why should we think this is worst??

Swine flu deaths in Britain soar to 29 as 12 people die in just FOUR days

Quote:
Health officials are now preparing for a 'worst case scenario' of 65,000 deaths this year in what they fear may only be the first wave of the disease.

They believe 30 per cent of the population could be infected and expect 0.35 per cent of those people to die.
Today it was also revealed that Cherie Blair, the wife of former Liar of a prime minister Tony Blair, may have swine flu.

She pulled out of a ceremony to receive an honorary doctorate at Liverpool Cathedral today. The BBC said this was because Mrs Blair had the virus.

It came as doctors warned that patients were swamping GPs' surgeries and called for extra medics to be drafted in.

Mrs Blair was said to have felt unwell this week and to have taken Tamiflu. She has reportedly cancelled other engagements while she recuperates.

She is not believed to have passed on the virus and is expected to make a full recovery within days.

Until this afternoon, only 17people were believed to have died after contracting the deadly virus.

The UK Government announced new details today of the National Pandemic Flu Service for England, which should be up and running towards the end of next week.

This telephone and internet-based service will enable people to get a diagnosis of swine flu, obtain a unique reference number, and gain access to Tamiflu.

People will be diagnosed over the telephone or can follow a questionnaire on the internet which will give them a diagnosis.

A 'flu friend' can then obtain the antiviral for a sick person from a depot around the country using the unique reference number.


Whats Happening in Your country and do you think your Country is doing enough to protect its citizens??

feel free to Vote as always
