  • Denmark: Flu has claimed 22 lives

    Minister of Health declares flu season over. The disease has so far killed 22 patients lives.
    This winter's flu season has so far killed 22 Danes livet.If?lge Interior and Health Minister Haarder (V) had 130 patients, 21 February thus been admitted to its intensive care units.
    In total, 17 patients with influenza A (H1N1) - also known as swine flu - dead. And seasonal flu - Influenza B - has cost an additional five patients life .- This winter's flu-related deaths are difficult unfortunate but can not be described as unexpected and should not cause concern, writes Haarder in a briefing to the Parliamentary Health Committee.

    Although the Minister of Health warns that there may still be some people who become infected with influenza - and who ends up in intensive care departments - so he recognizes that both figures have been falling in recent weeks.
    In years where there have been flu pandemics, it is primarily older than 75 years who have an excess mortality. It's also why everyone over 65 years are offered a free flu vaccination.
