    A pandemic that killed only gullible people would be awesome. Then the people who were scared had good reason to be so. And the people who weren't worried would be right as well. See, everyone would win - brilliant!

    Oh, and as an added bonus we'd weed out some of the religious bonkers and conspiracy theorists out there too. Only downside is that there would be fewer idiots to laugh at on teh internetz.

    OHHH, fuckin' bravo! Talk about an old folks home....jobs for the boys and a bunch of snouts in the feed bag.

    I know people that work there and people that HAVE worked there. Past employees have given me their (probably accurate from what I've seen) take on things while those still there sure as hell aren't going hungry.

    How many people does it take to read the news? I can recall the likes of Phillp Sherry doing an admirable job singlehanded. (That's just the tip of the iceberg.....)


    Yup, flog it off and let it stand or fall on its own merits, like the rest of us.

    I've just heard from a mate up north. He is REALLY concerned.

    He's wondering how he is going to have a beer with a face mask on

    You know what would be funny? A disease that only affected those who drink bottled water, that'd be funny. Something in the plastic bottle leaching into the H2O and making everyone who drank it come out in permanent dazzle-green spots. Then we could mock them for their entire lifetime for being suckers of the gargantuan kind.

    A hole-punch and a straw will sort that out.

    Yes we need coverage, yes it could be bad, but as Maha says, the 1976 outbreak fizzled out. Anyone seen that reported?
    Well said that man. This is just what I object to - that and the avid response of those who think they might have a chance to grandstand over it and be very important "heroes" who get all the media spotlight. Seems perhaps such people are trying to justify their existence...

    The fact that sales of pork products are falling as a result of this flu speaks volumes about the intelligence of the human species...

    My mate up north is a real noble bastard.
    Last year when the flooding was happening, he was stuck in the Keri Keri pub.

    He bravely fought off the rescuers

    At least with the idiots in the media being distracted by this crap, the economy will recover a bit without their bagging and doomsaying...

    It's amazing how well things run when you leave well alone isn't it?

    Fuckin' media! They climbed onto the property bandwagon just as we put our house on the market. It's a conspiracy I say..
