38000 worldwide people died of Aids last week.
Fewer than 10 people worldwide died of Swine flu last week.
Am I worried about Swine flu? I'm more worried about the Swine in the House of Corruption, I mean Commons.
The last pandemic (1969) in this country killed about 30,000 and 1m worldwide and they believed the general population had an immunity after the one from 57 then!!
Prior to that 1918....40 million, so perhaps we should be at the least be alert and follow basic hygiene practices to avoid any chance of spreading the virus. Also, I fail to see the correlation with AIDS, which is 99% of the time, caught via self inflicted practices. Even though there has been for many years a sustained and prevalent campaign of information and best practice, that continues to be ignored and not followed.
