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.
Angel	Ah, if only it were true Zoo, that i had not the flu Zoo. But i do, and tis the kind that makes you poo Zoo.
zooloo	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.
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
Angel	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.
