Predictions should come with a health warning 12:41pm on 03 Jul 2009 Interesting article Fergus.

Not much mention of the vaccine though and whether there will be actually time/reason to distribute it. I understand it will be given to front line health workers as a priority then who knows...

Just wondering what you thought of the Irish Goverments announcement that they have pre-ordered 7.7million doses of the vaccine. Enough to treat the population twice!

Is it likely the UK will do similar or given the astronomical numbers predicted, will it be no longer worthwhile?
UK cases double in a week; US cases top 1m 1:01pm on 30 Jun 2009 2 simple questions for you Fergus..

These underlying health conditions that 75% of people who have died have, what are they? and how many people in the UK suffer from them.

Asthma, for one is a "serious underlying condition", 5 million suffer from that. Diabetes is another. In some cases pregnancy(!) has been counted as such.

Why is there no information coming out in the UK on the media regarding these "underlying conditions"? The US seems to be streets ahead in these respects, publishing specific advice for pregnant women, asthmatics ,etc.
