Swine flu total 'may be double'

A leading bacteriologist has said that the number of swine flu cases in the UK is probably double the official figure. We have now officially counted 500 cases, but these numbers are underestimated. A soldier in the British army is diagnosed with swine flu. He has been isolated and is responding very well to the treatment. In scotland a woman who just gave birth to her baby is suffering from swine flu too, her conditions are critical. Professor Pennington, Aberdeen University, says: "In the United States, they think for every case they know about, every confirmed case, there are 20 other cases out there in the community. We do not think the same but all the experts agree that the numbers we have got are underestimated.

To be honest I was not really scared of this flu. In holland there has not been a case of swine flu yet, so it seems so far away. When you start thinking if it, it is scary actually. There is this flu and no one knows how to cure it and it spreads out through over the whole world. It is overseas and it has not stopped spreading. I am glad that the symptoms are known and if you are on time you can be treated. Hopefully this disease disappears as soon as it appeared.
