Uncontrollable bacteriological infection spreading....

[Muntu]

From rather than to would be the better option perhaps?

[wolves_wanderer]

Filthy immigrant diseases coming over here taking our bacteria's jobs. Is there anything this country makes that can't be done better overseas?!

I was wondering when this years health scare story was going to pop up...

Time to curtail MEDICAL tourism to the regime perhaps.

[5unny]

Mad Cow Disease, Anthrax, Chinese Avian influenza, Swine Flu.....

Yes it was getting a bit boring not reading about the next killer virus or bacteria to hit the UK but New Delhi metallo-beta-lactamase 1 has saved the day.

and the western countries have sent over to Asian countries the biggest killer of all - the deadly western diet - causes obesity, heart disease, diabetes and many, many cancers.

Is the Western diet contagious? If not, is anybody forcing them to use it?

Don't worry, I'm sure they've already got the vaccinations waiting in the wings.

Thanks. It clicked on the drive home. I had visions of people jetting off around the work to go and watch/have a go at operations on other people.

You may joke but somebody said today, causally as you like, at work -


"I heard on the radio about all these p**i doctors coming over here and spreading diseases. I reckon some of them are doing it on purpose. Dirty bds"


It is bad news though. I have all these vacines for Bird Flu, Swine Flu, Millennium Bug etc. I was hoping I would use them at some point or else I feel its wasted money.

i think people should be tested for tb before they're allowed in.
after decades of work we nearly had tb beaten but the last 15 or so years of rampant unchecked immigration means tb is rife in certain areas again.

The problem here is not so much the bugs but the Indian love affair with anti-biotics and their vast consumpsion

Children put pressure on parents to buy the latest junk food. Parents oblige because they see their friends doing the same thing and don't want their children to be left out/be different. Classic example is in the US and the UK - hugely obese children that are one of the largest marketing targets for junk food companies. Now that there is more wealth in Asia, they want to join the 'affluent' western way of life. All this means is an early death for their children.
