tamiflu is being distributed tonight for potential alleyans victims


Its flu - you wont die, just feel poor for a few days - the whole Swine flu has been hyped out of all proportion - its Flu, just one with a catchy name


This will only affect people who have had physical contact on the whole

If the real concern with swine flu is that there will be a second more serious wave in the Autumn should we actually be trying to catch it now and by so doing build up immunity .

Or because it's a virus doesn't it work like that?

Anyone with the knowledge to enlighten?

I think it is true Sean - on the Alleyn's website it confirms that all 5 children have tested positive for swine flu. But I don't think it's that alarming as from what I understand it has mutated since killing people in Mexico and is no more harmless to anyone who catches it here than normal flu, so anxiety is mostly down to media hype I think...

    • Not sure about changing hands but the Peckham Rye one is open and hasn’t had any random closures. Our child is very happy there but there was a resolved Ofsted complaint half way through last year.  Things don’t look good for the Devon nursery owned by the same company - looks like loads of issues with Ofsted which can be seen in its latest report. 
    • I was in Forest Hill Road today, just past the Rye, and noticed there is a dentist next to the Herne (pub) that has NHS signs outside. I've never had any problems getting NHS dental treatment in East Dulwich, and I get regular check ups. I've been to three  different dental practices here over the years, all with NHS treatment. I think the difficulties are in other parts of the country. Malumbu has a good explanation above. I didn't hear the Radio 4 programme, but I'm guessing that a  radio programme is not going to have time to say where you CAN easily get NHS treatment, and is bound to focus on the negatives and the horror stories, otherwise it would be very boring! ETA: Re children's teeth, I think the major issue is not lack of dentists, it is children being given sugary food, drinks and confectionery which rots their teeth. The education of parents needs to be about this, not just about tooth brushing. And in some cases the poor diet may also be due to lack of money for healthy food. Though of course the lack of dentists doesn't help, if  the tooth rotting can't be rectified by fillings or extraction.
    • Well, I hope you like what you see, the hot air, lack of answers and continual blaming things on the last Government and the made up blackhole, I find are nauseating. The man needs to see reality, because I'd guess that if we had a snap election tomorrow and based on the first six months of this parliament, Labour would get trounced. When the election does finally happen and if that isn't before the people rise up and throw this lot out, Labour will not be voted back in for a millennium.
