Swine Flu

Anyone worried?

I have a mate who is heading off to travel through South America on Sunday for a month, he isn't the slightest bit concerned. I feel pretty safe myself, although I do live on an island off the coast of Europe, so its pretty safe. Mind, reports are coming in from New Zealand that there are infections there and thats in the middle of the Pacific.

The media is a having a field day on this.

The WHO (not the band, The World Health Organization) has moved it up to threat level 5 out of 6. Where 6 is a full blown pandemic.

A pandemic is a worldwide epidemic. Other pandemics include the Black Death and AIDS etc.

On second thoughts, I'm confused what to think.

That's fine... but you do realize that we've brought this feature out to the forum, so that you folks are more involved with the day-to-day content of the site, right?

That's what this is all about; your participation in HH.

Hello Everyone,

We've made a few key changes to the functionality of the main site and forum that allow for better integration of the common features of our commenting engine in HotHardware's news stories and our forum software.

As you'll notice, news posts on HotHardware.com are now generating their own individual threads in our forum. Forum Admins are also moving these news posts to their proper forum content category and location. You may now comment and interact with each other in any of these news threads in our forum, and your comments and interaction with each other will show up in the corresponding HotHardware.com News post on our main site! Conversely, if you prefer to just login to the main site and comment in the news thread, your post will also appear in the forum thread!

Enjoy the new features, have fun, learn and share.

Thanks!
Dave Altavilla
