OMG ! Swine flu in Scotland

Scotland was one of the first European countries to confirm cases of swine flu sufferers, a couple from Falkirk who honeymooned in Mexico. Now it's announced a young man who hasn't been to Mexico has contracted the desease, the first case of person-to-person contamination in the UK. Apparently he caught the virus in a pub, of all places. Now the question is : is there really cause for alarm or is Tamiflu an effective vaccine ? Is the new type of flu just a stronger version of the ordinary one or a dangerous epidemic ?? Are we all going to wear masks ??? As if the financial crisis and global warming were not depressing enough...

L'Ecosse a enregistré l'un des premiers cas de contamination par la grippe porcine impliquant un jeune homme qui n'a pas séjourné au Mexique. Faut-il s'alarmer ou juste prendre la nouvelle avec fatalisme comme la plupart des calamités qui nous tombent dessus en ce moment ?...

Mo a dit…

Et ce couple habite à quelques centaines de metres du travail d'Alan. Mais le panique s'est calmé pour le moment.
