They didn't just think the name "COBRA" sounded cool (although it does), it stands for Cabinet Office Briefing Room 'A' which is where they meet, ie. the main briefing room in the cabinet. Basically they're very important people who talk in a crisis.

Ok, I just discussed this with a biologist.

Apparently, It will take 6 months for a vaccine to made made, and released. If It doesn't get to england by then we will be fine. The cobra have already announced they are starting work on the vaccine. Furthermore, If mexico actually atleast try to keep it contained, like turkey and canda did with the last one, we will be ok aswell.

Masks are not completely reliable, the virus micor-organisms are very tiny, and even if there is a slightest gap in your mask, it will get through. (unlucky with the deformed ones out there). Furthermore the two so called ""cures" they have found are really expensive, and not always readily available.

This is serious shit though. Fortunately for me, I am no in the targeted age group, but if you are 20-45 years old, you should watch out.

It's the same as avian influenza. Scientists go "Kekfegbw.k.wbgu.wb, FFFFuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu-"

And it'll turn out to be nothing. Period.

Many, many girls throw up every day. Had yours been to Mexico recently? Still, did she do it on anyone? What colour was it?

Are you knocking up girls again?

Also KD, are you sure about the 20-45 age group?
Because its said that little kids that catch it will remain more time with the virus active.
