The latest BBC report suggests the rate of swine flu cases is falling sharply. Last week there were 30,000 reported cases compared to 110,000 the week before and 100,000 3 weeks ago.
The UK death toll stands at 40, with just over 500 people been admitted to hospital last week, down from nearly 800 the week before.
Experts are studying trends in swine flu hit countries around the world to help determine how the virus will next react. It’s predicted that there will be a surge in the number of cases through out the winter months. The increase in cases is likely to occur a few weeks after schools return from their summer break.
The department of health claim 3 quarters of the population are not worried about the swine flu pandemic. This ties in with what our online poll is saying though there has been a slight increase over the past few days

I find it rather amazing that while we have been in Phase Six Pandemic Alert for 3 months, that in Britain the flu is easing.
ReplyDeleteI also find it rather interesting that while Phase Six Pandemic Alert means millions dead and dying...that hasn't happened yet.
When can we expect Phase Six Pandemic Alert to be realized? Perhaps after enough people have been vaccinated?
