[A new strain of swine flu - similar to a flu virus
currently circulating in pigs - has been detected
in a human in the UK for the first time.

The person was diagnosed with the
infection - influenza A(H1N2)v - as part of routine
national flu surveillance after visiting their
GP in North Yorkshire with
breathing problems, it is understood.

The person involved is not known to
have worked with pigs and has
fully recovered.]

Can't quite see that, zeez, Have you got a bigger picture of it?

Swine flu isn't a particularly scary one... it's been a pretty bog standard flu in every outbreak/pandemic. Bird flu is the scary one but it's very rarely transmitted to humans, and not human-to-human.

So far :worry:.
