UK: More on the first British H1N1 death
Via The Sun, a major development in H1N1 that is also a heartbreaker: A new mother with swine flu died last night - the first such death in Britain. The 38-year-old, who has not been named, had given birth nearly three months prematurely at the Royal Alexandra Hospital in Paisley, near Glasgow. Her death - the first outside the Americas - came as the total number of UK swine flu cases hit 1,261. Medics were last night fighting to save the premature baby. The Scottish woman had been gravely ill in hospital suffering from the influenza H1N1 virus. She had underlying health problems and was one of ten swine flu cases in hospital in the greater Glasgow area. A 26-year-old nurse who helped treat her at the city?s Southern General Hospital has also contracted the virus. It is the first death in the UK of someone with swine flu since the outbreak began ? and the first outside the Americas.
