    Another example of how pathetic our media is. The article starts with :

    New Zealand now has six confirmed cases of swine flu with a further 11 "probable" cases, health officials say.

    but then later on quotes verbatim some other story which says :

    The following countries have reported laboratory confirmed cases with no deaths - ... New Zealand (4), ...

    Pathetic ! Don't they actually read what they write.

    Great, we're really screwed now.

    Better hope these ones can't run.

    That is a sensational spoof site - everything left intact but the main article. Brilliant work, thanks Rich.

    Yep, I'll admit to a 1/2 seconds worth of 'what the fu....?' while reading that.

  • mark taslov,

    Someone died of this so your body can't handle it. We will focus our initial reports on casualties, alert levels and warnings providing little or no detail about the lifestyles of the victims for your understanding.

    ATLANTA (AP) — America's two swine flu deaths — a toddler and a pregnant woman — each suffered from several other illnesses when they were infected with the virus, according to a study released Thursday.

    We will do our best to deny you exposure to this illness, blocking the greater mass's ability to develop natural immunity despite the low mortality rate. As we isolate the virus, we increase our market value, we encourage further mutation, and we enhance your susceptibility towards future versions.

    but our medicine works.

    Sadly, I suspect there's a germ of truth in that.
