Avian Flu BBC Documentary

[Sheik N Shimmy]

I watched this last night. As with most BBC material it was a good documentary in my opinion.

However, I'd have to ask what the reason for airing it was. I mean, if we're all 'doomed' anyway why tell us in advance? How will the public benefit by knowing the course that such a deadly epidemic might take?

I'll bet you'll see a surge in membership here today..... lots of people who woke up thismorning with coughs and colds and flu who are convinced they have contracted avian flu.

Just a thought,

Bloke goes to the doctor and the docor takes one look at him and says "Flu?".

Bloke says "No, I drove.....".

Hi Sheik

I think you have a point about any health related programmes and the incidence thereafter of GP visits etc.

I feel anyone with the slightest anxiety will be suceptible to whatever may be discussed.

I made a point of not watching it because I knew I'd end up having whatever diseases they talked about lol.

It was the talk of our office today with some folk looking really worried. Glad I didn't watch it but it seems to have had a powerful effect!
