Swine flu is pandemic in NZ. I guess that it is right now resident in my lungs and in others of our family. If so, it's more annoying than garden variety winter coughs and colds, but not particularly so, though this has attacked me more than anything since the sars I caught in Beijing several years ago which left me feeling quite bleak [but I did not contact the authorities because I suspected it would not be good for my health]. Don't worry about swine flu. It's not a big deal. Remain on alert for H5N1 which would be a nasty piece of work if it managed to combine with H1N1's infectious skills. If the combination was as infectious as swine flu with the mortality of avian flu, nobody would be worried about Global Warming. 70% of the victims would not be here to worry. It would mean a population reduction of about 30% but more likely only 20% or even less as people would take extreme evasive action. Mqurice
