New Swine Flu Deaths in the UK

In the last few days there has been two deaths of otherwise healthy individuals in the United Kingdom caused by swine flu. These deaths are in complete contrast to the other swine flu related deaths that had previously affected people with underlying health problems.

The recent death is of a six year old girl who is rumoured to have only had tonsillitis before she died. It seems that the young are more seriously affected by swine flu than the old. And some are beginning to wonder if the swine flu virus isn't starting to mutate.

Scientists have responded by stating that there is no evidence that the virus has changed significantly in the last few weeks. However, the increased number of swine flu related deaths is worrying a sign of the speed of its spread and the random nature of its capacity to cause serious illness.
