Update: Swine Flu Arrives in Scotland


UPDATE

Nicola Sturgeon the Scottish government Health Secretary, has announced the couple who were being tested for the swine flu virus in Lanarkshire, have proved positive.  They are recovering well in hospital she stated.

Time to take note of  Ampers' Rants post methinks and in particular his link to a friend who lives on the outskirts of Mexico City.  She has done her research well as he says.

Also remember to wash your hands as often as possible.  This is effective against airborne spores. This may make many realise just how important hand washing is and how ineffective all these new 'anti bacterial' products are in this day and age.  Nothing like soap and hot water plus good old bleach.

Aye Rab. Wash yer hands every opportunity you get that'll help. It's an airborne infection similar to c.diff and hand washing in hot water is the answer. Also use bleach for cleaning, none of these fancy bacterial sprays.

Reid to replace Harman?

subrosa said...

Billy that would be a wrong move. Reid is well past his sell-by date and rather disliked by many in the west.

Is there any truth in the rumour that Gordon Brown jumped for joy and gave one of his eery grins when he heard about Swine Flu being found in Britain? Until someone pointed out these weren't the flying pigs he's been pinning his hopes on! :oD

I heard he was rubbing his hands with glee because he could then call a national emergency FL. That means of course postponement of the general election.
