Swine Flu parties? What madness!

Did you hear that a few Brits are throwing Swine Flu parties so that they can gain immunity to it from the infection? According to the BBC:

Dr Jarvis, chairman of the British Medical Association's public health committee, has been working for the Health Protection Agency in the north west to help test, diagnose and treat people who have got swine flu.

He said: "I have heard of reports of people throwing swine flu parties.

"I don't think it is a good idea. I would not want it myself.

"It is quite a mild virus, but people still get ill and there is a risk of mortality."

I suppose these party-organizers have been victims of Britain's notorious mad cow disease!
