Faheema. Posted July 17, 2009 Twenty-nine people have now died in the UK after contracting swine flu, up from 17 on Monday, the government has said. It comes as the number of new cases hit 55,000 last week and the NHS has seen a surge in calls and consultations. Ministers in England have responded by promising the National Flu Service will go live at the end of next week to relieve pressure on hospitals and GPs. The government has also warned that deaths from swine flu this winter could be between 19,000 and 65,000 in the UK. Experts said it was impossible to predict exactly, but with a third of the population perhaps becoming infected in the coming months the death toll could rise to such numbers. The World Health Organisation has also described the pandemic as the fastest-moving one ever, adding it was now pointless to count every case. The pandemic flu service will allow people to get access to anti-flu drugs by calling in or using the internet. more...

Faheema. Posted July 17, 2009 We all should be concerned to be honest. I was suppose to meet a friend of mine on thursday but she felt ill and had to go home. Yesterday she got diagnosed over the phone. She spends most of her time travelling on the trains. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
