Topic History of: Where is the FLU ? BBC misinformation Max. showing the last 5 posts - (Last post first)
BR |
all that news comes from the same press release which is out on the wires.
You would think that if that has been happening for a few weeks then the local press would have already been reporting it - but not ONE local story - all are based on the single press release.
I have still found only isolated examples of FLU around the UK with these posts.
Seems it has dropped off the main news this morning - basically because they know they are "exaggerating" what is the normal cold and flu pattern of the year. It may be more than the last 8 years but not so much as to cause concern. At 39 per 100,000 it is way off a flu epidemic ( 200 per 100,000 ) and nothing like a pandemic.
Luckily they have more store chains collapsing today to keep the bad news coming for us all.
I do hope that no one gets flu this Christmas - it is horrible. But unless you are in a flu hotspot ( Liverpool and Crewe seem to be where it is ) then you should be fine. |

It's OK Angel, our Lizard Overlords have managed to infiltrate news sources other than their BBC.
They'd have gotten away with it if it wasn't for that pesky BR. |

Thanks for that, Though I posted this question on a couple of other messageboards and so far you are the only person in the UK who has answered in the afirmative.
any chance you can give us a county where you are - because it is obvious a place to avoid !!!!
Hope you all feel better and have a good Christmas |

This is not propoganda. Where i reside, most of my family have had the FLU. I am on a course of antibiotics. The surgery was full of people with simillar symptoms. Indeed, many business colleagues throughout the UK have the FLU. Count yourself lucky, its a long lasting bug that appears to clear then comes back to bite you on the arse (not litteraly). I hope this clears things up for you. |
