SHOOT: The same applies to the rest of the world. And that means you, wherever you are. The world is suddenly a much smaller and more frightening place as a result.
“There is no need for the public to be unduly worried...But we must not be complacent - it is right to prepare for the possibility of a global pandemic.”

A 45-year-old Scottish man is the first person in the UK to have fallen critically ill as a result of swine flu alone - and not because of other underlying health problems. He is one of two new cases, announced yesterday, which have been admitted to intensive care in Scotland. Neither case is linked to previous clusters of the disease. The Scottish government yesterday confirmed the new cases were “critical but stable” at the Royal Alexandra Hospital, in Paisley. It also said there had been 23 new cases of the virus in Scotland, bringing the total to 65. The Health Protection Agency (HPA) yesterday revealed that 61 more people in England were confirmed with swine flu - the largest number announced in one day. This brings the total in the UK to 362. Neither of the two patients in intensive care has any known links to other cases, to travel or to each other. The other case, a 38-year-old woman from Glasgow, does have previous underlying health problems.
