Caught the little bugger.

I haven't been sick for many years but I woke up Friday with what I can only assume is the flu. Not a bad case, mild fever and aches but I'm listening to the news with interest these days.

It amazing how people overeact over these things. The note exactly Y. Pestis we are talking about. Pretty nasty stuff though, but not nearly the global pandemic some think it was.

Too true but it's only one mutation away from pandemic.

It bears watching without hype, awareness without panic.

Is the media capable?

I totally agree with you Mate.

I thought H2N1 (avian flu) was going to kill us all, lets see if the pigs manage what the birds (and cows also with variant CJD) failed to do.
