Swine flu - everything you need to know
Published: Wednesday, 5 August 2009
The sections below provide health and travel advice and more information on what swine flu is, what to do if you think you have it and what the government is doing to help combat it.
National Pandemic Flu Service
The National Pandemic Flu Service has been launched in England.
If you are in England and feel like you may have swine flu, visit the new website by following the link below, or call 0800 1 513 100 (Textphone - 0800 1 513 200).
People who have swine flu symptoms will be given a unique access number and told where their nearest antiviral collection point is. They should then ask a flu friend - a friend or relative who doesn't have swine flu - to go and pick up their antivirals from their nearest antiviral collection point. The flu friend must show their own ID as well as that of the patient.

Latest news
The Health Protection Agency estimates there were just 30,000 new cases of swine flu in England last week. This compares with 110,000 cases the week before – a clear indication that the rate of infection is slowing.
There has been a fall in the number of cases in all age groups and in all regions. So far, 36 people have died and 530 people have been hospitalised with symptoms of swine flu.
There is no sign that the virus is becoming more severe or developing resistance to antivirals. The small number of deaths has mainly been in older children and adults with underlying risk factors.
Evidence that you are sick
You do not need to provide a doctor’s sick note for the first seven days you are sick.
Your employer may ask you to fill in a self-certificate of their own design or form SC2 which you can get from your GP's surgery, or from the HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) website.
If you are sick for more than seven days, you will need to ask your doctor for a sick note for your employer.

Swine tdoors, as I stay in Pune and H1N1 has hit here badly, and another statement came as “It is incurable.”, actually that’s not the case, H1N1 is curable, the missing thing is Vaccine, yes there is no Vaccine for H1N1, and WHO says Swine Flu Vaccination may be available from September.
So, I thought of making a post which can tell people about H1N1, so here we go.
What is Influenza A (H1N1)?
Influenza is an acute viral infection that affects mainly the nose, throat, bronchi and occasionally lungs. There are 3 types and further subtypes of influenza – one such subtype is Influenza A (H1N1). The influenza caused by A (H1N1) is commonly referred to as “Swine Flu”.
What are the symptoms of this flu?
The symptoms of H1N1 Flu in people are expected to be similar to the symptoms of regular human seasonal influenza and include fever, lethargy, lack of appetite and coughing. Some people with H1N1 flu also have reported runny nose, sore throat, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea.
Children –
In children emergency warning signs that need urgent medical attention include:
Fast breathing or trouble breathing
Bluish skin colour
Not drinking enough fluids
Not waking up or not interacting
Being so irritable that the child does not want to be held
Flu-like symptoms improve but then return with fever and worse cough
Fever with a rash
Adults –
Difficulty in breathing or shortness of breath
Pain or pressure in the chest or abdomen
Sudden dizziness
Confusion
Severe or persistent vomiting
Recommended care (Dos and Don’ts)
Do’s –
Frequently wash your hands with soap and water
Drink plenty of water
Take enough sleep
Keep distance of at least three feet from a infected person
Observe healthy diet
Don’ts –
