Given your name on here you should be more concerned with BIRD FLU !!!!


Can you guys please keep your flu on your side of the pond !! We dont want it over here.

Do you actually read these articles? I mean read and understand them not just skim the headline catching aspects? If you did you might have a better understanding of the topic. But evidently you would prefer an average medieval life expectancy of about 35 to 50 years tops.

and then you have folks like me. Immune system? What immune system? That thing what attacks otherwise healthy spinal interfaces, causing "bamboo spine" ?

Yeah, gimme a shot. Fire up the immune system, give it yet another reason to attack every single joint I own. Thank you, no. I'll pass.

Bwahaha, that isn't nonsensically alarmist at all. How do you people make it through the day? Between al qaeda under the bed and humanity dying off from the seasonal flu, shoot, 2012 ain't nothin'. When will the dragons return, Merlin?

I can't imagine getting those ailments mixed up based on experience!

Food poisoning = Minimum 12-hour stay on the toilet holding a wastebasket to your face while your body attempts to evacuate EVERYTHING in the digestive system out of both cavities simultaneously!!!

Seriously, read and learn. If you can't recognize the similarities and differences you just have to suffer. If you can't wrap your head around that one I wouldn't dare tell you an easy solution to one of the problems.
