superbug - could kill 80,000

[MaryN]

I must say I'm getting a bit bored with all these "if" reports that the press and media keep churning out. It may sound a lot, but in the scheme of things and bearing in mind the number of people on this earth, 200,000 is not that many! I found the reports about the outbreaks of chicken flu and all the other stuff more annoying than frightening (as if I would sleep with my hens!). It seems that the Press are running a "let's scare the punters" scam at the moment. Yawn! I find my goldfish more alarming.
