Whether it is Swine or Type A what difference does it make to us ? Are we prepared for either !!!! We dont know the reaction to Tamiflu drugs that this new strain of flu would have ? So lets just pray that good sense prevails and that people will be careful with their personal hygiene .
Ryan they haven't tested positive for swine. They have tested positive for influenza A. That means that the samples will be set to Aussie where they will be tested for Swine. tv3 wrongly had in the breaking news that it was Swine that wont be known for a few days.
I have heard the horrible news about the 13 students who have tested positive to the Swine Enfluenza,and I am scared to death about the saftey of New Zealand.We simple cannot rely on our "she'll be right" way of thinking when it comes to dangers.80 people have been killed by this strain of super flu and when you are housing small group of people in a crouded environment such as a school where the infected are around others.With nothing more than metal doors to protect healty people from a deadly virus.I write as a worring man today and with reason to worry.The school will open tomorrow with the infected still detained in a classroom! It's maddness,putting lives of hundered at risk to a almost unknown flu here in 'safe' New Zealand.Things could move from bad to worse....Don't look so suprised when you see everyone in auckland wearing a mask and all flights and ferry off this rock shutdown.We face a epidemic.
