I don't think this is really working
http://www.pandemicflu.direct.gov.uk/ 0800 1 513 100 this what shows up at the moment when you go on the website: NATIONAL PANDEMIC FLU SERVICE WELCOME TO THE NATIONAL PANDEMIC FLU SERVICE The Service is currently very busy and cannot deal with your request at this time Please try again in a little while. You will need the following information about the patient: Their date of birth, Their current symptoms, Their history of any serious medical conditions, Their health service number, or if they are a foreign visitor, their passport number or European Identity Card number and their postcode You will also need a pen and paper to write down information we give you They need bigger capacity for the website -------------------- |

Still the same at 3.55 pm - looks like it's crashed through overuse. Can't say I know anyone with swine flu so far but some dirty devil in Tesco Metro this morning sneezed twice without any attempt to use a hanky (or even his sleeve lol) and you could actually see the droplets flying out like a fine mist. Took good care to steer clear of him and made sure I used a different checkout - was out of the shop and up Northbrook St pdq. Some people.....

It's always the case when a well-publicised site goes on line for the first time. Curious people like you and me just looking to see what it's like.
 I seem to remember this happened when the latest Census went on line - after a few days it cooled off a bit. |

You would have thought that they had covered all eventualities when declaring a pandemic. Typical of the government to sleep walk through this.

Yeah, they should have spent a few extra million on a mega server to cope with the initial surge of usage on the site. |

Of course, it may not have crashed if so many people hadn't kept going on it just to see if it was working yet
