Swine Flu May Shut Down Netherlands Summer Festivals
April 28, 2009 Posted in Entertainment, Lifestyle, Music, News-ish
This swine flu thing is getting out of hand. Despite the fact that it’s really not that bad, the 24-hour news channels are all freaking out like a death cloud of killer pig-bees are swarming toward them. That’s here in the US. But overseas, things are getting even crazier. According to our friends in the Netherlands, booking agencies are considering canceling all summer festivals for fear of helping to spread this “pandemic.”
Due to increase of chances on the outbreak of swineflu in the Netherlands, festivals may be cancelled. The company can’t afford to take chances of putting employees, artists and visitors of the festivals at risk of this quick spreading disease.
Festivals included can be well-known Pinkpop, Parkpop and Campingflight to Lowlands Paradise, as well as other smaller ones.

If you look at the pandemic of 1977, when H1N1 or Swine Flu re-emerged after a 20 year absence, there is no shift in age-related mortality pattern. The 1977 “pandemic” is, of course, not considered a true pandemic by experts today, for reasons that are not entierely consistent. It certainly was an antigenic shift and not an antigenic drift. As far as I have been able to follow the current events, the most significant factor seems to have been that most people, who were severely affected, were people with other medical conditions.
