I'm sure most of you would of heard of this at some point during the past week.

Fears are growing that a deadly human strain of 'swine flu' that has claimed 81 lives in Mexico has arrived in Britain. A British Airways cabin crew member yesterday complained of 'flu-like symptoms' midway through a flight to Heathrow from Mexico City, where the virus first surfaced. Last night the unnamed man, understood to be a British national, was in isolation in a West London hospital and was being treated by staff trained in infectious disease controls. Earlier, panic spread throughout Mexico, where those who died were reported to be the first victims of a pandemic with the potential to kill millions. Experts said the virus posed the biggest threat of a pandemic since bird flu began to spread in 2003. That has killed 256 people in 15 countries.

I'm not that concerned at the moment, but it does sound quite serious.

Any thoughts on this?
