Re: swine fever.

The year before I retired a colleague said to me, in about October, "I've bought a frozen turkey because there'll be none in the shops by Christmas." That was the dreaded bird flu. There were plenty of turkeys that Christmas and the bird flu didn't decimate the population.

We've had 8 cases, so far, who have come back from Mexico with the swine flu. They haven't died. There may be an epidemic on the way but we've had flu epidemics before and they all have the potential to kill.

Let's not panic, it doesn't solve anything.
