YV's has weighed in on the issue:<br /><br /><A HREF="http://blogs.nzherald.co.nz/blog/your-views/2009/4/27/are-you-concerned-about-dangers-swine-flu/" REL="nofollow">"Are you concerned that one or more of your children may be killed horribly by a global swine flu pandemic?"</A><BR><BR><I>Has anyone noticed that the United States and Mexico are both republics and have confirmed swine flu? The UK and New Zealand as kingdoms are only suspected to have cases of swine flu.<br />Coincidence ,well probably.</I><BR>Righto. I don't think even Hobbes made this argument for the monarchy but it sounds plausible I guess.<br /><br /><br /><I>I remember a neighbour who was just a young girl at the time of the Spanish Influenza.Her father burnt sulphar through-out the house.And not one member of her family came down with the Spanish Flu whereas her neighbours came down with it and died as a result.So what I will do is build up on natural protection e.g garlic.</I><BR>Gotta love that logic - sulphur prevented spanish flu, therefore I will use garlic.<br /><br /><br /><I>What I'm concerned about is maths. We have a potential pandemic. We potentially have the cure, 1.3 million doses.<br />There are 4.3 million people in NZ.<br />Who gets use of the lifeboats in case of an emergency?</I><BR>Good point. I assumed they'd give it to whoever was infected but maybe we'd have to draw straws. I guess if you were extra lucky, got the Tamiflu but didn't get sick you could just save it for next time.gazzajhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16269126625443588798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9139464357237074361.post-56573487763307819712009-04-28T23:46:00.000+12:002009-04-28T23:46:00.000+12:00This comment has been removed by the author.gazzajhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16269126625443588798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9139464357237074361.post-19948525062565054622009-04-28T17:44:00.000+12:002009-04-28T17:44:00.000+12:00Aparantly some countries have now issued travel wa...Aparantly some countries have now issued travel warnings about New Zealand based on our reported 56 cases of Porcine Flu (read 56 people panicked because they coughed). <br /><br />Of course the media (TVNZ is worse than granny H this time)doesn't influence public opinion or sensationalise, it only reports the news.

It thoughtfully mentioned "some Asian shoppers" were not buying pork products. To add to the message, the reporter noted that 100 boxes of luncheon sausage had been destroyed - although it was in China, and unrelated to Swine flu (just a little chemical contamination, that’s all). In fact the meat was "unidentified" so may not even have been pork. <br /><br />The whole article really just came across as the reporter (Lincoln Tan) asking a couple of people if they were worried about buying Pork, and then turning it into a story when they said "umm".Webnomixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10235477110159360916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9139464357237074361.post-46774711978908688322009-04-28T12:37:00.000+12:002009-04-28T12:37:00.000+12:00This comment has been removed by the author.Webnomixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10235477110159360916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9139464357237074361.post-59035210662565185802009-04-28T12:35:00.000+12:002009-04-28T12:35:00.000+12:00I would be much more worried about iSwine flu.I would be much more worried about iSwine flu.Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12661495023149576052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9139464357237074361.post-74385498628055910212009-04-28T12:22:00.000+12:002009-04-28T12:22:00.000+12:00I'm just glad that the word SWINE is back in commo...I'm just glad that the word SWINE is back in common parlance.
