Today AP reported that Andy Burnham, the British Health Minister, said the UK could have up to 100,000 new cases of swine flu per day by the end of August. Currently we have seen only about 100,000 reported cases worldwide. If the cries of Andy Burnham are anywhere close to accurate, the world may be in for a huge health crisis. The UK won’t be the only country that has big problems. The North American countries seem like a sure bet to join in. Japan is very worried. I’m sure many European countries, the former USSR countries, and China will get their share too.
