"restrictions on mass gatherings"

[port]

we'll probably have to dip ourselves in a puddle of disinfectant on the way in.

if everybody at glastonbury is going to walk about with masks on and the singers have even got masks on. I'm definitely making the most of it by getting on the shrooms.

I've got a cold and started sneezing like a madwoman last night.

I might go down to a train station or other big public place later on today and see if I can't induce some mass hysteria

[Tugger2k]

I think everyone has a responsibility and the following items should be added to the banned list for the festival:-

Any glass items

Generators

Glass items and generators from mexico

Pigs

Unwell mexican people

Pigs from mexico

Paninni football stickers of the mexican football team

in all seriousness, this article is a little bit worrying.....

[smileymiley1980]

its not worring in the slightest, its sensible that they 'monitor' it, and then do nothing when absolutly nothing comes from this ridiculous panic being spread by the media

They have to say what they have said, they can't say 'Swine Flu? Who cares?'. It is just the standard response to idiots asking them hysteria induced questions.

Altern8 are confirmed as playing aren't they? So we can all wear those face masks with Vicks Vapour Rub the whole weekend and not look too stupid.

Problem solved

Hello I hoped my first post would be cheerier than this but here goes.....

"It is worth remembering that seasonal flu often poses a serious threat to public health: each year it kills 250,000 - 500,000 around the world."

[Kowalski]

you mean the information coming from the same organasation that 4 years ago told us that 200,000,000 could die from avian flu

that w.ho.?

I imagine travelling on the hot, crowded and contained tube is far more conducive to catching something than standing in an open air space?

I see nothing at all in this thread, which I've just caught up with, to leave me in any way worried that Glastonbury will be cancelled.
