"Flu viruses can spread."


The ad tells us to catch it, bin 1 it, kill it. Instead, the actor in the advert 2 caught the swine flu virus himself. David McCusker may attempt to teach the public how to contain the virus in the Department of Health advertisement, but two weeks ago, he was quarantined after becoming infected. He has now recovered, but thousands are still being diagnosed 3 each week. In the last seven days, 30,000 people became ill, although that figure dropped from 110,000 the previous week. 36 people have now died from the virus and last night it was confirmed a young woman became the first swine flu victim in the Irish Republic. She'd been suffering from a serious lifelong underlying 4 condition. But as the government's Chief Medical Officer warns of a possible second wave of swine flu hitting the population come autumn, ministers are considering plans to immunize every school child in the UK against the virus. If the plans go ahead, it would be the biggest mass vaccination 5 since pupils were given smallpox 6 jabs in 1964. But the Department of Health has stressed no decision has been made yet and GPs would probably still be the bedrock of the program. This comes as the first trials of the vaccine 7 are being carried out with 175 people enrolled 8 in trials in Leicester. It's expected the results may be available in four to six weeks.
