Swine Flu Outbreak - Latest News and Updates
Twitter Live - Live on Twitter
Latest from Twitter on Swine Flu outbreak and possible future pandemic. Dr Patrick Dixon, Chairman of Global Change Ltd said: "We are in a race against time to prevent a global pandemic. We must also remember that even if the spread of Swine Flu Virus is as well contained as Sars was in 2003, there could still be huge business disruption around the world. Sars only infected 8600 people in 2003 of which 862 died, but wiped billions of dollars from stock markets in South East Asia and caused major challenges for international travel, as well as social chaos in places like Hong Kong where people feared for weeks to gather in public places. Sars only infected 8,600 before being contained, but this Swine Flu Virus has probably already infected well over 1,600."
