Have you been to Rhyl recently jimbob?? More likely to get something like Cholera - it's like a ghost town. Not like it used to be when we were younger. It's a shame.

raftl how far does Gordon Brown fly?? Jimbob I recognise what you are saying about the Spanish Flu but this government and the media have put out so many hyped up warnings in recent years that I,and no doubt many others think it is just a distraction from the real issues around the world. If the government really thought it was a threat to the nations population, then why has the government only ordered enough USELESS surgical masks for 32M people, when there is infact over 60M living here in the U.K?? Also, if anybody remembers, around the time the farming industry was blighted by so called Mad cows diease,Foot and mouth,Bird flu and now swine flu, they was wanting to produce Genetically modified crops!! my personal view is that the timing of all this was so uncanny.
And the plan is destroy the farming industry,bankrupt the farmers and buy thier land cheap.So they can use it for such reasons...conspiracy theory?? maybe but this is just my opinion. sherlock

"So they can use it for such reasons...conspiracy theory??"

New prisons?

While there may be something in what you say - it does also credit the authorities with more acumen and intelligent planning ability than I would personally be prepared to give them

Surely if it was THAT much of a serious threat they would put a blanket ban on ALL air/sea travel think

There are now 2 ways this government can make a big saving {money wise} and get the country out of the mess its in. Dont give the anti flue treatment to the over 60s. No 1 it will save a lot of money pension wise because us over 65 will all be dead of this flue and no2 it will after its all over allow the NHS to be reduced in size due to us oldies no longer been arround filling up the hospitals. HOWS THAT GRAB YOU ALL

Hence I said IF it were that serious! IF it were that serious, there is a way round the situation you give as an example. Let them load the ships and planes, only essential minimum staff to travel, no contact with those at the other end i.e. here, we (the staff at the docks and airport) unload it. No contact required. Simples.

Initially what I meant was all non-essential travel i.e. holidays, business trips (why have video conferencing if you don't use it ffs). Apart from Gordon Brown and his cronies - they can all go but we'll refuse them entry back into the country laugh

Apparantly you can only contract Swine flu if you've been in contact with an infected pig recently.

the world health are taking it serious. after all prevention is far better than digging big holes for us humans like they did in this country for all the cattle. When you talk about travel, there are not many islands compared to the large land masses arround the world. so do you stop people walking

Prevention is indeed better, but how do you prevent zoonotic diseases? It wasn't my suggestion to stop people travelling, I merely said that if it were that big a risk it would maybe be on the "list of things to do" in such a situation.
