The Pacific Dawn 'swine flu' cruise ship. Just blow it up.

The Pacific Dawn 'swine flu' cruise ship. Just blow it up.

 Swine flu hits the north east. About 20 cases of swine flu have now been detected in this region – in Berrigan, Beechworth & Mansfield. In all cases the ‘victims’ were either passengers from the Pacific Dawn or had contact with other passengers. Why did they ever let it dock? PS: Those towns are nowhere near Bright!

    Is it that big a deal? More people die from normal flu, some people are getting sick, I don’t get all the fuss. Unless I’m going to start oinking, sprout a curly tail and develop a snout a-la Victoria Beckham then I’ll take a week off work and buy some extra tissues and that should do it.

    I think you might be right Don. We’re hearing a lot of news about how many people it’s infecting but what we’re NOT hearing is how those people are going. And I’m sure that if anyone was really suffering above & beyond a normal flu, the media would be reporting that big time. I reckon they’re just praying for the first death by swine flu in Australia. Watch the media, the health officials and the plebs go into overdrive if that happens.

    Well, if I do end up getting it, I hope I don’t get a snout like Mark Byatt.

    He’s immune. It doesn’t affect pigs.

    “TASMANIAN health authorities have started isolating travellers from Victoria with flu-like symptoms.”

    I hope the Hawks aren’t due this weekend. Talk about King Canute! I’m told that if necessary, there will be a tent hospital set up on the Domain, and it’s bloody cold down here.
