This is the most bizarre thing I’ve heard for a while. I found out on the BBC website that people are having parties with people with flu, with the aim of contracting the Swine Flu virus whilst it’s in it’s mild strain, knowing once it mutates with the Winter flu over here in the UK, that it’ll become more potent. Here’s the link to the story:
Throwing “swine flu parties” in an attempt to get immunity against the virus while it is a fairly mild form is not a good idea, doctors say.
Reports have emerged of people intentionally mixing with friends who have flu.
Their reasoning is that it is best to be infected before the winter when the virus could become more deadly.

Well last nights European Championship Under 21 final was a bit of an anti-climax. The score line being pretty embarrasing. The Germans must have started the mind games by choosing to wear their Red Away kit, rather than letting the English bring back memories of 1966 
Anyway we looked lightweight up front, and in Ozil Germany have a star in the making. He was awesome last night. I’d love to see him in our Custard and Cream away kit next season in the Championship haha! Altho it seems Werder Bremen have decided he’s the man to replace Diego, their talisman. So they have a lot of faith in him it seems.
I’m still unsure how to feel regarding Andy Murray. It does make me laugh how wound up certain Scottish people get when he’s announced as the best “British” hope of winning Wimbledon, yet under Tim Henman he was the best “English” hope. I sort of disliked him when he said he’d support “anyone who plays England” in the World Cup in Germany, He did well last night tho.
Tonight I get to find out who shot Horatio Caine in CSI MIami, as the new season starts on channel 5. I was rather stupid in thinking it started ;ast week, so I ended up watching the final episode again, knowing what had happened already! Whoops
Ain’t no party like a swine flu party cos a swine flu party can kill.
Why am I singing that comment to the S Club 7 song
There are some completely crazy people around, why the heck would they want to catch Swine Flu in the first place!
don’t be a swine
As crazy as it sounds, it might not be a bad idea. Then when the more potent winter virus strikes they will have natural immunity to it. If you are elderly, young, or already have medical issues, this really is not a good idea at all.
I noticed the swine flu party thing in the leaflet and thought it was weird. I was gonna blog about it but like so many of these things other stuff gets in the way.
I also wish some Scots would stop being so anti-English. We all live in the same country – the UK. All that war stuff should be left in the past.
the spread of AH1N1 or Swine Flu is really scary. It is a good thing that this virus is not very deadly. We are advised to take Vitamin-C and to wear face masks.
Interesting stuff. Did you hear that there’s a new strain which is resistant to the anti-flu drugs? Tamiflu etc? Found a really good website for tracking it’s progress, seems to be updated every hour or so… http://www.swinefludeaths.co.uk.
the use of face masks and boosting your immune system by taking lots of vitamin-C is still an effective way of preventing the spread of the Swine Flu virus.
I have a relative who got the Swine Flu in Mexico. It is a good thing that he already recovered from this disease.
