Swine Flu Fever

If they can panic in Washington DC, then, for heavens’ sake, we can have some hysteria here too:

The first Britons confirmed to have caught swine flu have been discharged from hospital after recovering.

This will obviously disappoint the BBC, who’ve been hoping that Swine flu will make up for the great disappointment that was bird flu’s failure to bump us all off. Still, this news, while obviously a setback, won’t be enough to stop them from telling us that we’re all going to die next week.
