Britain Braces for a Massive Surge in Swine Flu Cases PDF Print E-mail

LONDON – Britain faces a projected 100,000 new swine flu cases a day by the end of August and must revamp its flu strategy to cope, the nation's health minister said Thursday.

Britain has officially reported 7,447 swine flu cases and three deaths, but officials acknowledge the real number of cases is far higher, since many with the virus have not been tested.

Britain is the hardest-hit nation in Europe amid the global swine flu epidemic. Many flu experts believe numbers could jump exponentially now that the virus is entrenched. Because swine flu, or H1N1, is a new virus, few people have any natural immunity, allowing the virus to spread rapidly.

"Cases are doubling every week and on this trend we could see over 100,000 cases per day by the end of August," Health Minister Andy Burnham told the House of Commons on Thursday.

CHINA FACES EXTREME WEATHER

CHINA is bracing for extreme weather, with strong gales and scorching heat in recent weeks serving as harbingers of disasters to come, state media said on Tuesday. Since the 1990s China has experienced a steadily growing trend of weather-related calamities, such as droughts, storms and floods, with experts saying global warming is partly to blame. 'Extreme weather will be more frequent in the future due to the INSTABILITY OF THE ATMOSPHERE, and global warming might be the indirect cause.'

Last year, the administration responded to 16 weather-related emergencies, the HIGHEST NUMBER IN SIX DECADES. This year could prove equally hazardous, with weather in different parts of China registering various forms of extremes in recent weeks. The eastern province of Anhui was hit twice by intense storms in June, killing 37 people, while parts of north China are now seeing temperatures as high as 40 deg C. The changing weather patterns do not just take a toll in terms of human lives but are also immensely costly. In the period from 2004 until 2008, extreme weather caused average annual costs of 244 billion yuan (S$52 billion), up from an average of 176 billion yuan in the 1990s.
