I think Bill has a good point.  In Washington, the default reaction to infections is closing down schools.  I think there will be an instinct for people to not go to dialysis if people start getting sick in the center.  That could be deadly. We had  a list of problems we had to look for earlier in the thread, and allof them weere complications of not getting enough dialysis.  Will the flu kill dialysis patients? or will lack of dialysis kill them?

Yes but it's a great way for the Government (I'm talking UK but they are probably all as bad)  to take our minds off the recession and MPs' allowances  :sarcasm;
That's what I think. more than just the recession.

Swine Flu is just another example of media sponsored panic. Remember Chicken Flu and SARS? They didn't allmost  wipe out the human race as dramatically predicted by the media. They just disappeared as fast as they came and we all forgot about it.

The media seem to be going through a phase where they can't wait to scare us half shitless every couple of months with their wildly exagerated claims. Swine Flu will come and go just like every other flu in modern times without reaching epidemic proportions throughout the world.
