SHOOT: There's a credible headline for once. It's laughable that South ASfrica's health authorities can claim to credibly reassure anyone after the incredible job they're doing with AIDS. 1000 infections daily, 365 000 per annum.

Expect the newspapers to tell you to remain complacent until the absolute last moment.

The national figure of confirmed cases has nearly doubled since the start of the week and the figure is increasing daily.
Read Weekend Post tomorrow for an interview with one Eastern Cape family whose idyllic holiday in Thailand turned into a nightmare when their teenage daughter was positively diagnosed with swine flu.
