I was watching Sky News last night (bad move anyway) and they were interviewing people coming back from Mexico. Two of them mentioned that they were told when boarding the flight that they would all be quarantined and subjected to a health check on departure. They weren't, they were just allowed to disembark as normal.

Hmmm, I think - why use that comment from those particular people? Oh I see - the rest of the piece was about how the Government is not taking the outbreak seriously. How the passengers disembarking were rightly concerned (yeah, I'm sure all the tired passengers really wanted to be waiting around for hours to find out they are currently fine). Cue clip of Japanese airport with returning travellers being treated like ET, all shrink wrap and polythene tunnels. That's doing it properly apparently.

Stupid spin-frenzy-storm-hungry Sky News.

Then again, stupid Government, who are sending a leaflet re Swine Flu to every house in the UK. What a waste of bleedin money.

I like those decorated masks though.
If I had been quick enough I'd have put some like that on eBay, would have made a killing!
