O/T Sven Goran-Eriksson

[Posh]

According to a report on Reuters this morning the former Mexico manager, Sven Goran-Eriksson, who only moved from the city two weeks ago is in an isolation unit in Bologna in Italy with suspected Swine Flu.

I hope he's OK and it shows even the wealthy aren't immune from this infection.

Seems to be getting worse. If you're trying to get hold of Thomas Cook et al this week to enquire about anything other than a pending holiday to Mexico, you've no chance in talking to a human being.....even if you want to pay for a holiday to another destination. Understandable given the circumstances, I'm going to America in August which I'm starting to wonder about given the cross-border migration between the two countries.

Sounds like bollocks to me.

Since when do viruses do credit checks on potential hosts?
Anyway, some people from modest backgrounds tend to have better prepared immune
systems than those from affluent ones, kids covered in snot who climb trees with mouths full of top soil tend to be resistant to everything whilst cosseted ones get sick from a car drive
to the supermarket.
Remember when "Wacko Jacko" decided the best route to longevity was to live in an
Oxygen tent in a sterile room? Until someone pointed out that breathing pure oxygen from
birth will kill you by the time your 12yrs old! Five times richer than normal air and burns your
"candle" five times faster!
The best way anyone can look after themselves is boost their immune system by having sufficient sleep, balanced diet, exercise, fresh air and quit worrying - You'll die of stress first!
Another point, in Mexico, the authorities have bundled all cases of death by flu into the
"swine Flu" folder, as they haven't got the resources to detect the difference in
strains ( quoted by someone in the B.M.A the other day on the news)
they may not all be "Swine Flu".

More than 35,000 people died from plain old seasonal flu in the US last year. With 1 death so far, this porcine version has a ways to go.

It was once said that a black man would be US president "when pigs fly".

Indeed, 100 days into Obama's presidency................ swine flu!!!
