In the news today they are still banging on about the over reaction of the government on swine flu. In most cases yes I agree it was a complete failure and misprediction on the government and health chiefs. It was classed as a global pandemic and predicted to kill thousands of people in its supposed second wave in winter. Now the hundreds of thousands of pounds the governments spent on the vaccine have now gone to waste, where the money could have been used on much more urgent things like the N.H.S or helping the poor folks out in Haiti after the devastating earthquake.

The first reports from Tuesdays earthquake disaster in the epicenter “Port-au-Prince” has been said to be apocalyptic with thousands left dead and hundreds made homeless. The survivors of Tuesday’s earthquake have said “things have become very desperate” with food and fresh drinking water running low. However there were was still some signs of hope as rescuers, after digging for hours managed to pull a live woman from the twisted ruins of a luxury hotel where she was staying at the time of the earthquake. Onlookers have said “it’s a miracle she is alive” after spending nearly a week without food or water trapped under the rubble. It has been estimated that the death toll has now reached a staggering twenty to thirty thousand, which may increase dramatically as more are found during the clean up process.

If you have had gastric problems like me, you will always wonder if the cause could be ulcers, luckily for me this was not the case, but there are many people who do have a long history of ulcers. A recent study has found that the bacterium that causes stomach ulcers has been linked to causing gastric cancer. However this is nothing to be conserved about as this is not 100% proven as no one really knows how gastric cancer is caused at present, just the bacterium has been found in gastric cancer. I would recommend though getting you checked out at the doctors just to be sure.
