2 cases believed in UK now - a couple with flu like symptoms just returend from Mexico.

Only enough Tamiflu to treat half the UK population.

US declared state of emergency - but this is so "officially" the processes can be put in place to deal with a pandemic should it occur.

Does it matter that I missed my Flu vaccine this year due to being too ill to have it?
