    you know they probably have, anything that might hurt are farming industry appears and they close down the country ref: foot and mouth. Nothing will be done if people start dropping but if one pig gets it, we're all on curfews!

    oh oh....i may have it so!
    Seriously - there has been, as far as I can tell, no government response to this issue. At all. We have thousands of passenger movements from NA to ireland per day. Are there thermographic scanners in Dublin airport for instance?

    This is the National Pandemic Influenza Plan produced by the Department of Health and Children.

    National Pandemic Influenza Plan


    Advice internationally is to have enough water and food in the house to last for a period of illness.

    Australia and the US suggest a much larger supply - people are finding this food stockpile very handy when they lose their jobs.

    Working from home is also recommended.
