I used to go the Planet X on Hanover St, reckon I might have picked up the odd disease there like.

 

[Shevin Keedy]

It will undoubtedly happen again, but even though we are better prepared both to detect and cure, something will escape from a lab or be allowed to escape and millions will die....

Or even though we may be better prepared the lousy government fails to act appropriately and on time, meaning scores of thousands die in the UK alone.

Let us hope to God that never happens.


oh.......

I don't mean to sound alarmist but we're all going to die.

I’m near certain I had this in October.

High fever (>39.0c), general viral symptoms, diarrhoea, loss of appetite and fatigue. Was ill for three weeks, the tiredness and fever were like very little I’d ever known. I also had swine flu in 2009 so speak from some experience.

Directly following on from that I had swollen lymph glands which can be a sign of recent severe infection.

39.0C - you were lucky.

I had much the same thing in September, a temperature of 40.5C , all but died, but still managed to lick the road clean with my tongue on the way to work to do a 24 hour shift at the mill, before returning home to be murdered every night by my missus with a bread knife.

40.5C? You don't know you were born, I was so ill I was set at gas mark 5 for t'week. We were so poor the family kept using me to cook their rations of 1 bean and two grains of rice on to save using some old previously burned twigs. Then I'd go down the pit to do a 48 hour day. What I'd give to come home and be killed every night that would have been sweet relief.
