it'll be back for a stronger wave in the winter, which will likely be deadly.

viruses like this tend to be most deadly in 20-40 year olds due to their stronger immune system.

Oh spawn of Dally, I'll rise to the bait.

You're saying that a virus is more lethal to the people who are most protected from it ?

Is everything in your world inverted ?

No what is a joke is the fact that exam boards are considering letting those who go to schools closed due to the swine flu get their expected grades for GCSEs and A Levels without sitting the exams.

If there school can't be used for whatever reason send them elsewhere to do them - a sports centre, another school I am sure there are plenty of possible locations that could be used!

How many people in Britain right now have got bog standard flu?

That's just as bad, and life doesn't come to a halt for that.
