So far only 5 confirmed cases in UK and pretty wide spread. One was an 12 year old girl in Devon.

School Closure in Devon, England

3 of the 5 (including the Devon girl) were on the same flight from CancĂșn.

As of one hour ago 2 suspected cases in Northern Ireland.

And a bit of hope - the Telegraph reports that Mexico deaths by flu are now decreasing which corresponds with what I heard on BEEB R 4 yesterday from some health official. That the strain will weaken as over time.

Just hope that processes are being put in place to protect the most vulnerable.
