Anything is possible, I suppose, given the mutating ability of the little darling. We'll find out for sure next flu season.

Honestly, I'm not too worried, but to stay informed on the subject I do subscribe to some online newsletters, one from the American College of Health Oriented Organizations(A.C.H.O.O) and another from the Committee Of Unified Government Health Services (C.O.U.G.H.S).


Information is the key to staying alive.

When it was on the other side of the world, I wasn't concerned to be honest.

Now that it's closer to home, it's not as easy to ignore. There was a woman at work the other day who said she "just came back from a cruise". It wasn't until later I realised she may have been on the first P&O Death Cruise.

When I woke up the next day feeling a bit crappy, I was a little freaked out... :o


Even though it may actually get a bit worse before it gets better, it certainly won't be the end of it all ;)

NSW chief health officer Kerry Chant says the number of cases in NSW is now 33, up from 18 on Wednesday.

Twenty-four of those were among the 2,000 passengers aboard the Pacific Dawn cruise ship who disembarked in Sydney on Monday, Dr Chant said.

Another 324 people are currently undergoing tests after being suspected of having the disease.

it's funny u asked the question about the end of the world coz i've always thought that a virus would wipe us out. we are always raving about how we are the dominant species on the planet etc but something as small as a virus could end us in no time

maybe swine flu is the pre-cursor. it will keep mutating and eventually become so strong it eliminates the vast majority of the earth's population
