Swine Flu is predicted to soon reach the Pandemic levels, spreading around the world and killing many people. It has been predicted by Experts on the subject that it will kill 2,000,000 people around the world, and 50,000 people in the UK. There have been comfirmed deaths in Scotland And England already.
One boy in Mexico had been diagnosed with Swine Flu, but lived to tell the tale. His father spoke on the BBC news and said he was in bed for 3 days straight. Symptoms in UK are not predicted to elevate this high, and only to show Mild Symptoms.
Vaccines are set to be produced fairly soon, and within 6 months should be being subscribed to people around UK. How long it will take to reach other countries, especially the LEDCs in most of Africa and Asia.
Anyone else a wee bit worried? D:
EDIT: Some figures for the Amount of Cases in America:
"The CDC update said there have been 109 cases including 50 in New York, 26 in Texas and 14 in California."
