you don't work with very intellegent people
was her next line "do you want fries with that?" ?
Got to love how religious nuts are claiming they are offended by the name

That's a first, Don't really see how they would find it offensive considering it's a +1 for them since it's a virus which comes from pigs, giving meat such as pork a bad rep, which is basically what they're against.. IMO it's hyped up stupidity by the press.
She's actually really clever, and has a degree in astrophysics and is doing absurdly well on the training course we're both on.
She does have her less than smart moments though...
lol.
Seriously though, what's the chance of dieing from this if properly treated ?
Apparently less than with some other strains of flu that crop up all the time.
There is cause for concern - a new strain of flu could quickly mutate into something that poses a serious threat to society - but right now it doesn't really seem more of a problem than other existing strains of flu.
I thought it bizarre that he was offended by a disease being given the name of a ritually unclean animal - surely a disease is considered unclean anyway? To me, it looks like flu makes a person ritually unclean as described in Leviticus 15 because they will sweat.
The leaflet about Swine Flu that will come through your door soon has been leaked.

I work with a room full of women with degrees and Masters and they all have their moments.
Everybody does.

The media are having a field day.
Hundreds of thousands of people die every year in the UK from influenza. Mostly the elderly who are vulnerable. At the moment infected people are making a swift recovery so is there anything to worry about? Of course people died in Mexico, in poverty stricken areas with little medical treatment available and a poor standard of living. It wouldn't make a difference if it were swine flu or your average bug.

This is the biggest farce I have ever seen. More people die from normal flu etc etc.
