The first case of swine flu is recorded in Australia.
The second case will of course be met with headlines such as
" swine flu cases double"
or
" incidence of swine flu up by 100% "

In a short while there will be declarations by government representatives telling us

"it is important for the public to stay calm and not to panic"

Australia's PM has already stated the importance of washing our hands.
No shit? golly gosh.

Experts predict outbreak will be inevitable since there hasn't been a pandemic in over 80 years and statistically this means we are well overdue for one.

Supplies of Relenza and Tamiflu have been rationed because of panic buying.

Supplies of Relenza have been stockpiled for years and there is fear they may be out of date.

Parents disturbed that children might spread swine flu in creche...

Holy Shit!

Obviously swine flu is going to be worse than the Ebola virus.
