DCWoody -> RE: for Pahunky; swine flu (1/11/2010 4:06:08 PM)

I dunno, it seems to me a large part, possibly all, of it was the media bigging it up as is their wont these days (sars, bird flu, global warming).....and that put pressure on governments & possibly WHO to....possibly....overreact. I recall Cameron lambasting the governments swine flu help line for not having enough people....and the day before they had indeed not been coping with the number of calls, people seeing the tv telling them we're all gonna die......3 days later, all those phone ops were sitting around getting bored with almost no calls a day. Whether it was just this, or whether there was overreaction at all in the nation of your choice....or whether some companies were somehow swaying the WHO....wait for the result of the enquiry.
