Super Flu? More Like Super Hype Sun Dec 14, 2025 13:05 | Dr David Livermore
Present case numbers for the ?K? variant Super-Flu don't justify the hype, says Dr David Livermore. Perhaps it's the media lust for fear porn, or perhaps the Government's fear of the strike, but it's not a Super-crisis.

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3Recent studies on pipeline accidents in the UK and America have revealed that up to 60% of gas pipeline ruptures self-ignite, due to the tremendous forces involved in flying steel and stone and the resultant air/gas mixture.
Worse than that, a delayed ignition from an external source actually results in a greater chance of fatalities, because of (1) the curiosity factor of a roaring gas rupture luring people from the relative safety of their homes and towards the rupture site, and (2) the possibility of slower gas build-up in structures frequented by people, who tend to do highly dangerous things like smoke cigarettes, turn on light switches, start cars etc.
So, very often no need for extra sparks at all... and I'm a blacksmith!
