First death of flu outbreak in the UK

Reports are in today of the swine ‘flu’s first UK victim and its first in Europe with the Scottish Government confirming on Sunday that a patient with underlying health problems had died after testing positive for the H1N1 virus. The victim is understood to be a 38-year-old woman who gave birth prematurely at a hospital in Paisley. Health experts say her death does not mean the virus is “getting nastier”.

The death is the first outside the Americas, where more than 140 people have died since the pandemic began. The World Health Organization declared a pandemic last week following a sharp increase in the number of cases in Australia. Although the anti viral drug Tamiflu will be available to those who contract the infection, personal supplies can be obtained through the trusted online pharmacy UK Medix, who will prescribe the drug for you following a consultation with on of their panel of online doctors.
