Remember that flu thing? Still out there, and probably far likelier to kill you than most (but not all...) political figures. Maybe we should talk about this for a change, because for many of us this is the real news.
"During 2017, there were 14 clusters of cases in which a person passed the disease to at least one other person." Let that sink in. Fourteen clusters just this year alone. Someone now catches H7N9 from another human every 2 1/2 weeks |

That is the scary one!
Not the Australian one - inflated in numbers by a new reporting system and which kills the very old and very young, as flu often does, not the young adult like the Chinese strain above. It is even covered by the current flu vaccine. Our NHS is worried about the Australian flu, but it is this one which scares me.

How do you tell if a politician is lying?
His lips or pen are moving. |
