One 'flu over at Wrexham

Swine 'flu has hit Wrexham, but many folk have adopted a fairly laid-back attitude to the illness. They argue that they have 'flu regularly, so what's the big concern?

For those who have actually experienced 'flu - the real thing, and not simply a cold - the reality is that a quick death can almost seem preferable. Asian 'flu in 1957 was a killer of massive proportions and a very nasty and debilitating illness. The pandemic which followed in the mid-'60s was equally savage, but didn't lay quite as many low. Once autumn starts to set in, many are going to find out first-hand what swine 'flu feels like. Lets hope we're ready.
