There has been a well-publicised surge of cases in the UK during December with swine flu appearing to be the dominant of the three strains circulating.

The rates being seen elsewhere in Europe are not as high as in the UK, but the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control said there was evidence that the winter flu epidemics were "starting".

Like every year. It's not like there never was a flu outbreak in the years before. Not to mention that all that swine flu paranoia was so over-hyped it's ridiculous.
