I agree with you about the causes. As usual, Mankind is its own worst enemy. But sometimes it seems that "nature" knows best after all (of course), and (shall we say) reacts!
In the end, the "bugs" (or if you prefer, the
low-life) must win.
In the meantime, a little perspective may not go amiss. It is a simple fact that so-called "winter 'flu" carries off more old folk (and it
is generally the old folk who succumb) in such an "advanced" country as the UK every year than "swine 'flu" has accounted for, worldwide, to date. Do we hear about that? No.
So why all the fuss? If you're otherwise healthy, it's just another virus, one of
zillions being "transmitted" (largely through ignorance, poor hygiene
etc. as I have hinted at before). It's just another dose of the er,
'flu!Anyone remember "bird 'flu" ... what ever became of that one? How about SARS? Have you heard about the latest
fad amongst the "trendies" ... sending their kids along to "swine 'flu parties"!
But meanwhile, I won't start worrying too much myself until things start getting
this bad!
