Swine Flu Parties: Not a Good Idea Apparently.
30 Jun
I almost spat out my coffee this morning, partly due to the taste but mostly because I had just seen a headline which read – ‘Swine Flu Parties Not A Good Idea’. Apparently having a party with people who already have a mild strain of Swine Flu in order to catch the disease is something people are actually doing. The theory is that you get the mild strain, get better and are thus immune to any stronger strains that may be floating about or may arrive this winter.
The fact that people would actually consider doing this amazed me. Perhaps seeing that a recent study showed that almost half of those asked could not locate their heart on a diagram I shouldn’t be so surprised by people’s lack of medical know-how.
My advice for those considering going to a Swine Flu party is to come to my recession party instead. For those of you who haven’t been to a recession party, don’t worry its quite simple. You just give me a months wages in order to be immune to the recession in case it gets any worse this winter. If any of you are feeling at all flu-ish please stay at home.
Hey, it beats the other extreme with all the Southeast Asians wearing surgical masks to protect themselves against the Black Death.
I have been invited to a swine flu party – didnt go for obvious reasons but is the kinda thing which will strike a chord with the annoyed youth!
