Swine flu strikes again

Four people have died of swine flu in the space of 24 hours as experts predict children will be hardest hit by the second surge of the pandemic. A teenager was among the latest deaths as new cases of swine flu almost doubled to reach 53,000 in the last week. The four people who died in the last 24 hours in Scotland were a 16-year-old boy, a 77-year-old man and two women aged 47 and 54. All of them had significant underlying health problems. The number of deaths of people in the UK suffering from swine flu has risen to 128, with 93 deaths in England, 21 in Scotland, eight in Northern Ireland and six in Wales.
