Public Health

Visible to anyone in the world

Surely everybody can see that something must be done to control access to mass meetings, concerts and sporting events.

For example, during the winter when the Swine Flu is meant to be at its most virulent then football matches must be held behind closed doors, same with rugby, and pubs and nightclubs must be closed during this national crisis.

Must we wait until the death toll rises before this government actually takes the bull by the horns and tells the country of their contingency plans. There must be restrictions on gatherings, and free movement of people.

This goes against my liberal traditions but the ends justify the means. What people have to realise is that yes, tens of thousands of people die every year from flu, but in the case of this flu, they will be a different group of people, that will be the problem.
