BS: Now isn't that special?

ABC News has just reported that Michael Jackson is staying on the same floor of the hospital as the pediatric ward.

No doubt Jackson is suffering from flu symptoms. Have you noticed how pale he looks?

What a wanker, I've had flu loads of times, never been to hospital with it yet.

You're lucky, then. News this morning is that the newest form (called A-California for where it was identified), is a likely import from China that is spreading quickly, hasn't been seen here before, and is most likely going to be the one to cause complications for adults who catch it. They predict it will be the big one next year, but making the stuff for flu shots will be difficult because this one "doesn't like eggs" (where they culture it). I think this is what went through our household last week (some of us had flu shots, and this wasn't in the cocktail).

Which would you rather have, the Pope flu or the MJ flu?

Well Guest the Asian flu pandemic of 1957 claimed nearly 70,000 lives in the United States and one million worldwide after spreading from China. What do you think about it so far?
