Interesting stuff. Did you hear that there’s a new strain which is resistant to the anti-flu drugs? Tamiflu etc? Found a really good website for tracking it’s progress, seems to be updated every hour or so… http://www.swinefludeaths.co.uk.

I don’t know about “chicken pox parties” but I think that deliberately exposing a child to the flu is abuse, especially when you consider how close they are to a vaccine:

The chicken pox parties of old were, obviously, before a vaccine was available. Once there is an approved vaccine, it is generally much safer than the disease.
H1N1, however, is a horrible idea for a “party” because (as a flu) it is likely more dangerous for children than adults.
