Mr Shoe Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 "well prepared" "considerable work" "close watch on developments" could they BE more vague? how about "we're sorted" or "nice one"? you'd hope an island with this population and this net worth would have sufficient tamiflu for every man, woman and child? and provisions (and associated legislative powers) to close all ports to non-essential traffic? shouldn't need it of course, but it would be nice to know we're prepared.

You are reading it wrong - the correct translation of that article is: "We're screwed - let's hope nothing happens..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparx Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 Noooo! Swine flu! It's going to slaughter us all just like SARS, Avian flu, BSE, killer bees, terrorists, immigrants and anything else the daily mail can think of to scare the shit out of the middle classes.

Albert Tatlock Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 I can already hear the splashing of Tipex and the rebashing of typewriters - as the April report into the decline in passengers at the airport is hurridely being rewritten.

So you have shares in a pharmecutical company then cos you'll make shedloads of cash from all the sales of tamiflu which will not be required but bought in the millions anyway, if you do.....I'm with sparx on this one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
