Surprise! Swine Flu Killed Us All When We Weren't Looking.

Remember that joke from like 3 weeks ago?  ”Knock knock.”  ”Who’s there?”  ”Swine flu!”  And then it wasn’t funny because the swine flu epidemic had ended and also because it’s a sh*tty joke?  Well, at least one of those things is no longer true.  The joke is hilarious now because

A teenager in London has become the fourth person in Britain to die after contracting swine flu, it has emerged.

The 19-year-old man from south London, had ‘serious’ underlying health problems and it was confirmed after he had died that he had contracted swine flu.

The latest death comes after ministers warned there will be 100,000 new cases of swine flu per day by the end of next month.

100,000 new cases?  I don’t think you understand, swine flu.  The media is over you.  And yet – it was the internet that caused this health crisis and the internet that’ll get us out of it…

Sir Liam Donaldson, who confirmed yesterday that the UK has moved past the stage of containing the swine flu outbreak and into the “treatment phase”, said there was no need for people to resort to the internet to self-medicate.

Sir Liam said: “There’s generally a growth in people ordering drugs from the internet worldwide and there’s a lot of concern among health authorities that people might buy counterfeit drugs.

“I think this is a similar situation – people shouldn’t buy Tamiflu from the internet.

“We have got a massive stockpile in this country and everybody can have access to it through the National Health Service.”

Meanwhile research carried out by the Institute of Psychiatry at King’s College London and the Health Protection Agency has found that three quarters of people are not concerned about the outbreak of H1N1 and two thirds have not followed any of the measures advised to limit its spread.

“We have this huge awesome stockpile of internet drugs just waiting to be used to limit the spread of swine flu, and yet… no one’s partying.
