Swine Flu

I heard on the news this morning that swine flu has jumped from 2 cases to almost 100 in about a month - maybe less. We're told not to worry since it's only people who have been travelling that have caught it... The number is somewhere around 96 but will only be considered an outbreak if it reaches 100. This sounds really familiar... oh, I know - wasn't this the whole story with Zimbabwe and the infected water and was it a cholera outbreak a few months ago?
I also heard they've discovered that the crime stats have been doctored and crime is really far worse in SA than we're lead to believe. NO! Really?
You might be wondering when we ever get any good news - I'm wondering pretty much the same thing...
