UK Blackburn Football Club, has confirmed that 3 of their players are struck with the Swine Flu and there is also a possibility of the whole team being inflicted as well. Whilst across the channel, France Paris Saint-Germain entire club team is being quarantined due to the pandemic. I feel that this pandemic Swine Flu is no hoax and it is spreading at an alarming rate. Although, there have been protocols for this pandemic, but this incident to me is indicating that it is still not enough to contain this pandemic. This is indeed worrying!

I had swine flu in July. It wasn't pleasent and the tamiflu that was prescribed made it worse. But it wasn't the worst thing in the world either and I am still here. I know it is coming round again now the summer is over, but I am not overly concerned. I think pregnant women and those with other health issues need to take extra precautions over hygiene but their is nothing else we can do. What is the point in worrying about something we cannot control?

I know this but still there is nothing we can actually do about it so why panic? Thats all I was saying. I might get run over tomorrow, but I'm not going to worry today, same with cancer or anything. Unless it happens and I'm affected and those I love are affected I am not going to worry. I know it might well mutate and it might do whatever, but its all mights at this point in time.

You make great points here Skyblue25 about worrying over something we have no control over or to be worried about being hit by car or bus if we walk out our door...if that were true we'd never walk out of our homes. skysuccess..once again you're being an alarmist. Like so what if three of the players from the UK Blackburn Football Club has come down with the Swine Flu the same as the entire France Paris Saint-Germain club team---if this was just the ordinary seasonal flu you wouldn't hear about it...but because it's the swine flu, once again the media is making a big stink about it

It would be great if you could. Thanks. Not that I am worried, but being armed and prepared is better than not.
