We have had one healthy six year old killed by it and now a health six year old boy.

Has the lethal strain started early?

How many of us on TiBB will be victims of this killer flu pandemic :sad::shocked:


Sticks many Old and very young Die of Flu
the rest take meds and get well.

That number is a Guess
only.

40% wiped out!! where the hell are you getting that figure from? I think you might mean 40% affected, the ACTUAL percentage of deaths was 2.5%

Sticks, stop being so melodramatic. Mich was bang on when she said we are way more advanced and prepared than those in 1918! People around the world die of the flu all the time, but that's never thrown onto the front of newspapers because writing about a dangerous pandemic is far more exciting for journalists. You're just eating up everything they're feeding you.

I'm probably going to get shot down for this.

But I don't think it's as bad as people are making out.
As long as you get it sorted as soon as & there is a treatment it's not like in uncurable then it should be fine!
