A secure democratic Net is a fundamental right

Many firms and organisation have a 'limit the risk' policy in which people who claim they have a cold or the flu are asked to stay at home for at least 3 days so the period of contamination is over when one returns to work.

So when many people started calling upton the doctors because they thought they had the flu - or a cold that looked alike - the system was very quickly overwhelmed and replaced by a call center.

You have to call and describe the symptoms - as described in detail in all the publications - and than they say you have to stay at home and take some medicine.

You than call to your work and say that you have to stay at home according to the national anti swine flu center and there is rarely a doctor free to come by and control you in the days after.

So there is one explanation why the numbers of people declaring themselves sick in the UK is so high.

While being in London you don't see people with masks, you don't see many signs or warnings. It may be different in enterprises and organisations, but the public life goes on as if nothing happens. So this popular explanation seems even more plausible.

Meanwhile it has also become clear that Tamiflu is not ready yet for population-wide protective or preventive distribution. First one of the new versions of the flu is resistant to tamiflu. Secondly because is seems now after such a wide use that there are so many complications that it would more endanger the health of a great number of otherwise healthy people than it would cure. Before a vaccin or a medicine is ready to be used on such a wide scale it has to go through so many tests that the risks to people are so limited or so well known that you could organise such a distribution.

Another argument for the people who believe that this all is a plot by the industry and or the government to make millions or to force us to take bad stuff. It is one big conspiracy if you believe them.
