At risk of bringing the wrath of fate upon me, I can't help but think that there is currently an overreaction to the Swine Flu outbreak. I don't mean to take away from the pain it's caused those affected and the families of those who have died, but you'd think that it was everywhere in the world and people were dropping like flies the way it's talked about. There are signs up all over Edinburgh University, telling us about hygiene, to use tissues etc, as if that would really prevent a pandemic... it almost seems like they're trying to cover their backs, so no-one could say they weren't prepared. But if it did turn into a massive pandemic, how could we be prepared anyway? Hmm, maybe I'm worrying myself now.
