I read on the bbc today that the first rise in cases has appeared since July, so the long-touted october-winter comeback may be imminent.
This article was printed ONE YEAR ahead of the initial outbreak:
Mass graves included in flu pandemic plan - Telegraph
Anyway, in this article almost a year before the outbreak is this gem:
"Some scientists say a flu pandemic is now overdue, either from the mutation of the normal human flu virus, or of the H5N1 strain that infects birds."
It seems the government was preparing for a pandemic a year to the date before the outbreak and our scientists even managed to predict which strain of flu may mutate.
I love our clever government. They keep us all safe with their ability to see trouble before it arises. Just like with the economy... er, maybe not.
It would be a shame if a flu pandemic was to affect the economy, especially now that our leaders have saved us from recession and put billions of our taxpayer money at stake.
