Its on track to do a good impression of the first wave in 1918. Lets hope that's all it does.

Why would you want a re-run of a disease that killed millions of people in 1918?

To check a spiralling global population which essentially seems to be the root cause of many of our problems?

Folks, if you want to protect yourselves, then go and get yourselves Vitamin D3 pills and Sambucol.

Taken preventatively, these will keep you free of the lurgy.

Whatever you do, though, do not take the pscyho-tropic and utterly useless Tamiflu and also avoid the forthcoming vaccine, which is laced with neuro-toxin mercury and the immuno-suppressant Squalene (one of the suspected causes of Gulf War Syndrome).

What did Nostradamus tell us about the swine flu? Does one of his quatrains address the psychotropic nature of Tamiflu?

Just out of curiosity, would you mind listing your medical qualifications so that we can all be confident we are accepting medical advice from a bona fide professional.

Maybe he's starting a new trend, or at least a revival of one. Maybe it'll catch on.

New Wave? It's never actually gone away. Just not getting the headlines anymore.

I hope everybody gets it.

Because I'm evil?

No, because, it's not a very deadly strain and could end up protecting us from a truly malevolent virus and save tens of millions of lives.

A person in Scotland has died from Swine Flu without having underlying problems.  The first person to do so.

The Swine Flu vaccination has been launched on the same day as another person dies from Swine Flu.

How safe is the vaccine though?  Has it been properly tested?

I seriously doubt the French are going to have a wave despite the fact that that seems an absurd thing to say because this flu is so contagious but no-one seems to suffering yet over here.

Nonsense laddie, a dram o' whisky or a hot toddie'll do the trick.

It was being reported on Radio Scotland yesterday that the German Chancellor and other senior german officials were being given a variant of the vaccine, one with certan ingredients removed.

The French (despite all their handshake greetings and endless hello /goodbye kissing don't seem to be developing a flu outbreak yet.

The only explanation I can reason is that the French do wash their hands a lot.  I wash my hands 6 - 10 tomes a day.  Since I've been washing my hands this often I've not had a serous infection.
