Timely article. I want to scream at the reporting of the ‘Aussie Flu pandemic’ in the papers, and the inaccurate reporting generally.

Read something about that having reached Ireland, and having killed 50 people. Also very little immunity conferred by vaccine against this strain. Any updates?  Are we all doomed?

The flu epidemic is peaking. My husband and I had our flu jabs in October, I hope they have given us some protection.
