Tower Hamlets Is A Swine Flu Hotspot!!

Out of the whole of Britain, the east-London borough of Tower Hamlets has the most swine flu cases. More than 184 people out of every 100,000 have required treatment with anti-viral drugs.

The virus is spreading through the capital rapidly.

The Government says that a vaccine will be available from the end of August and children between the ages of three and 16 will be priority.

Swine Flu Has Turnt Funky

Okay, so I know there's a Funky House craze going on in the UK now.....but really, do we need to make up a dance and/or song for everything? It's turning into Bashment slowly.

Swine Flu now has it's own dance and song!!! (Can you believe it?)



The 'Swine Flu Skank', which is supported by UK PR company, Uproar UK, tries to relay the swine flu slogan: "Catch it....Bin it....Kill it". This is a good little marketing tool, but it's not my cuppa tea at all....although some may find it comical.

However, it has 2 positive points:
1. It's educating people in a fun way
2. It's produced by Flamin' Beatz....quite a good producer of Grime music

Check the video....let me know if you'll be doing this dance in a club.

Will this dance catch on?

It's Spreading Like Butter On To Toast

This Swine Flu is serious business!!

Tulisa, from N-Dubz has been diagnosed with a suspected case of Swine Flu....

"Tulisa Contostavlos, 20, flew to Athens on Thursday night for a break with family and friends after finishing a 23-date UK tour, when the band performed for thousands of teenage fans.

But she fainted and needed medical attention during the flight — then had to be rushed to hospital yesterday after a doctor noted all the symptoms connected with the potentially deadly virus.

Tulisa was last night under observation on an isolation ward in Pendeli, Greece, as doctors awaited the results of tests." (The Sun)

We here at Social Writers wish Tulisa a speedy recovery!

HEALTH EPIDEMIC: SWINE FLU

Okay, so we had mad-cow disease and foot and mouth, bird flu now this:



According to ITN, 8 school children in NY have ben infected and 2 people from Scotland, with flu-like symptoms are being monitored for the virus. 80 people in Mexico alone have died from the virus.

CTV claims that you cannot catch Swine Flu from eating pork or pork products, people normally only transmit the virus from direct contact with pigs, but this sudden outbreak of the virus is worrying because the infected were not in direct contact with any pigs!

I'm not amused! I'll be in NY in a matter of weeks and now am put off eating ribs at some of my favourite restaurants.

Whatever next!
