Thank you so much....I love it ....love it....love it...

when you ask for 'solid evidence'

you stop people soaking up every little bit of hearsay like and big dumb gullible sponge and make them think for themselves...

What...oh my God!!! What the hell. Why did they close one branch, why not all the branches.I had these kind of news before too, but this one is solid evidence. I have to believe it...

The schools should be closed down with immediate effect...

there is no trusted source so far saying anything about this ...

Reminds with the rumors about a traveling ambulance who is giving injections to people to infect them with HIV. They were doing this job in UAE, but run away to continue in Qatar!

That was in the period were the Doctor and Nurses in Libya was the talk of the news ...

Please can you check some sources before you post something that will cause nothing but spreading terror through people?

Lets just pray that this is not true.. and let's be more cautious and always wash our hands regularly.. and as much as possible lets just cook our own food and try not to eat outside. this will also help us saving money...

We hope that this is just a rumor.

They slaughtered the birds when they had "bird flu", they slaughtered the pigs when they had "swine flu", they ......... now they have "American flu". (By the way, because it originated on the American continent).

Don't panic!! Lots of people will die in Qatar but the survivors will enjoy cheap rental prices due to lack of demand for housing. See everything has a silver lining!

It's not "Swine Flu" anymore, it is called "American Flu". Therefore: in Egypt they began slaughtering Americans.

Swine flu or no swine flu, there's no need to panic. It's perfectly curable.

I've been calling Mc Donalds Al Nassir/Al Sadd/Al Suhaim Bin Hamad Branch to confirm if this is true (4355431) but their line was busy.

By owen• 16 Jun 2009 13:11
owen

ok then.. so we are all in the same company.. as i receive this mail as well... not only once, a couple of times.. wonder if this is true..did any of you check Mc Do (now)?

to make it more panicky (i am now).. i received a message that 4 were admitted in Hamad because of this flu (not sure), posting this means i am seeking confirmation..

Would a staff contracting swine flu really be reason enough to shut the place down?

There is no McDonalds on Al Sadd Street. It happens to fall on Frig Al Naser street, In other words McDonalds is on Al Suhaim Bin Hamad Street.
