Don't know if this is just a sick coincidence, but....
2007 - Chinese year of the Chicken - Bird Flu Pandemic devastates parts of Asia.
2008 - Chinese year of the Horse - Equine Influenza decimates Australian horse racing.
2009 - Chinese year of the Pig - Swine Flu Pandemic kills hundreds of people around the globe.
Has any one else noticed this?
Next year, 2010 - Chinese year of the Cock - what could possibly go wrong?

More Swine Flu Paranoia
This report from Manchester Online tells how a senior Manchester Bobby ended up in a ramshackle Cuban hospital when the authorities thought hid daughter looked a bit peaky. Strange that because apologists for Castro claim Cubans have the best healthcare in the world, hey ho.
Actually, it was probably good in some ways for a British tourist to see the real Cuba. If you pays your money you takes a your chances visiting a totalitarian hellhole like that.
But with flaky nutjobs in this country getting giddy and bringing in their own ridiculous 'anti-Swine Flu' measures, it's good to see they are in the kind of company they deserve, sharing over-reaction with a paranoid, senile, communist despot on his last legs.

More on Swine Flu
Henry North London commented on my earlier post about Swine Flu, so I visited his blog.
This post is very worrying and I recommend that you take a look.

Swine Flu Bull
The paranoia about swine flu is becoming a really sick joke. The government, to be seen to be 'caring', has whacked out so much Tamiflu that this strain could mutate and become a more deadly strain before the antidote to this one is found. But look at some of the hysteria created in the workplace. This week I have heard of employers that have:
Banned staff using blow dryers in the loos in favour of paper towels.
Banned staff from using tea towels after a brew, yes in favour of paper towels.
Despite that they still have a sign on the stairs saying 'All Staff Must Use The Handrail'.
I think there are far too many people in jobs with no real work to do, or perhaps we are now a nation of big soft tarts whio need to rediscover a bit of backbone. Of course, we must remember the part people like WHO have played in building this hysteria.
And finally, I even saw a nobhead in a surgical mask trotting down the street this week.
