Swine flu around the world


The death of a young girl in Pune has once again kindled interest in this scary disease.

Just like India, Vietnam also reported its first swine flu-related death this month.

In August, health officials in New Jersey said that they will receive $10 million in federal funds to help it prepare for a possible swine flu pandemic.

And Wales' World Cup clash with Russia is also at the centre of a swine flu scare after Kremlin health chiefs advised against travelling to Cardiff.

And if you thought that things couldn't get worse, it just did--authorities have detected treatment resistant swine flu in the US.
