@ianaddison http://t.co/YpNOGLJN A new public health campaign has been launched telling the public how they can help stop swine flu spreading. The Catch it, Bin It, Kill it! ad is appearing in print, television and radio and aims to target everyone in the UK. In the television advert, a man travelling in a lift sneezes and the germs quickly spread to an old couple and a child. NHS Direct has released new figures on the number of people visiting its website to find out more about swine flu. A spokesman said more than 63,000 people visited NHS Direct on Tuesday compared with around 39,000 on Tuesday last week Stockpiles of anti-viral drugs, currently enough to cover 33 million people in the UK, are being increased to provide for 50 million people. A Department of Health spokeswoman said: "The main message is that it is business as usual. "The advice from WHO said that countries should activate their own plans and that is something that we have already done. "It is important to emphasise that we are still not in the pandemic stage."

I uploaded a @YouTube video http://t.co/rx2j0sNW Left 4 Dead 2, Neptunia Team 02 vs. Martians: Back To School (2) This is me (AznKei) playing Left 4 Dead 2 in single player with 4 Hyperdimension Neptunia mk2 characters starring Nepgear, Uni, Rom and Ram, replacing the survivors Bill, Francis, Zoey and Louis. The game is about 4 survivors immune to The Green Flu, which turns most humans into zombie-like creatures, who must escape the apocalyptic pandemic by defending themselves. Back to school is a campaign made by "100_o/o_f@ke" and "romasm". The storyline offer completly new setting of Borden city, struggling to survive in an epidemic apocalypse alongside with original 4 heroes. They are getting a chance to save themselves, since USA marines are coming back in town and not falling back this time. The campaign can be found and downloaded at: http://www.l4dmaps.com/details.php?file=21278 . All thanks go for the authors 100_o/o_f@ke and romasm for making this campaign. Also, all thanks for UniBlackheart for her wonderful Neptunia mk2 character mods, ilovemytruesister for his wonderful Neptunia mk2 voice packs and Splinks for his Mars Attack's common infected Martians. :) Note: This is the 2nd mod that we see a full anime/otaku pack replacing the L4D1 characters. This is a good change considering there's alot of anime/otaku mods for the L4D2 survivors. :) Link - Trackbacks

ワクチン後のけいれん発症増加なし http://t.co/6ezMPe55 AbstractObjective To assess the risk of epileptic seizures in people with and without epilepsy after vaccination with a monovalent AS03 adjuvanted pandemic A/H1N1 influenza vaccine (Pandemrix; Glaxo SmithKline, Sweden).Design Register based self controlled case series.Setting Three Swedish counties (source population 750 000).Participants 373 398 people (age 0-106, median 41.2) who were vaccinated. Vaccinated people with epileptic seizures, diagnosed as inpatients or outpatients, at any time from 90 days before until 90 days after any dose of vaccine.Main outcome measures Endpoints were admission to hospital or outpatient hospital care with epileptic seizures as the main diagnosis. The effect estimate of relative incidence was calculated as the incidence of epileptic seizures in period after exposure relative to the incidence of epileptic seizures in two control periods, one before and one after vaccination.Results 859 people experienced epileptic seizures during the study period. There was no increased risk of seizures in people with previously diagnosed epilepsy (relative incidence 1.01, 95% confidence interval 0.74 to 1.39) and a non-significant decrease in risk for people without epilepsy (0.67, 0.27 to 1.65) during the day 1-7 risk period (where day 1 is the day of vaccination). In a second risk period (day 8-30), there was a non-significant increased risk of seizures in people without epilepsy (1.11, 0.73 to 1.70) but no increase in risk for those with epilepsy (1.00, 0.83 to 1.21).Conclusions This study found no evidence of an increase in risk of presentation to hospital with epileptic seizures after vaccination with a monovalent AS03 adjuvanted pandemic H1N1 influenza vaccine.
