The worst aspect of this flu is the tide of panic that's sweeping so many people along. Flu is always nasty and people die from it but it's more usual in Winter so no one comments very much. This flu has landed in mid Summer and it has a Name.

I had a flu with a Name in the Summer of 1957. It was called Asian Flu and I was only 14. I was very ill for a few days and very weak for a few weeks but people were dieing from it. It swept the country and half the world but there wasn't the hysteria there is about this swine flu. The media and the internet have a lot to answer for.
