Swine Flu Fever
Thursday, 30th April 2009

If they can panic in Washington DC, then, for heavens' sake, we can have some hysteria here too:

The first Britons confirmed to have caught swine flu have been discharged from hospital after recovering.

This will obviously disappoint the BBC, who've been hoping that Swine flu will make up for the great disappointment that was bird flu's failure to bump us all off. Still, this news, while obviously a setback, won't be enough to stop them from telling us that we're all going to die next week.

1. Guess getting on a plane can bring it anywhere...

2. Let's compare the top headline on the BBC and the Telegraph, the Spectator's sister publication

BBC: " UK combat operations end in Iraq"
Telegraph: "Swine flu: three new cases confirmed in Britain"

Hmm, let me think, which one of these media operations is pushing the swine flu story more? It's the one owned by the same company as The Spectator, of course. But that won't stop them slagging off the BBC for old times' sake.

Extra bonus: the Telegraph's other headlines on flu:
"Probable case of person to person transmission in Britain"
"Swine flu: 'All of humanity under threat'"
"Swine flu in depth"

No, "All of humanity under threat" wouldn't be just a little bit of fear-mongering as a headline, would it?
