Quote:Two more dead from Swine flu in our county since I last posted.
Missus Occhi has us (for all the good it will do us) swabbing our noses and gargling with salt water. OK preventative medicine for the common cold, I guess, but not so much IMO the Swine Flu.
Did get my regular flu shot, though, as I usually do.
Got a headache. But Guinness resolved most of that.

We als had a few deaths in holland. Teenagers, although they are not 100% sure yet that it was the flu.
In Sweden there have died 6 people maybe inconection with having got a vaccination.
I am for the first time also considering a vaccination. I never had the flu before since I can remember but of course this one targets my age group, while normal flu was usually more dangerous for old people, babies and sick people.
The debate in the media is interesting to follow though....lot's of conspiracy theories here as well. Last small article I read quoted a house doctor that said flu shot were given with dull needles that hurt quite a lot when used......such news will directly scare off a few 1000 people who were thinking about getting a vaccination.
