The second wave of swine flu could have arrived as the number of swine flu cases has risen for the first time since July. Last week there were 5000 reported swine flu cases up from 3000 the week before. The death toll also rose last week to 79 an increase of 4 and 150 people were hospitalised. The increase in cases suggests an early return of the second wave of swine flu predicted for the winter.
Earlier in the year experts predicted as many as 65,000 could die over the winter if a second wave of swine flu was to hit. The number of case are still relatively low but as the winter draws in a second wave of the highly contagious virus seems to be on the cards.
