Suspected swine flu at festival

Three people attending the Glastonbury Festival have been diagnosed with suspected swine flu.

Two students and a 10-year-old child from a family of four showed symptoms of the illness when examined by festival medical staff.

The students, from Exeter and Edinburgh universities, and the family were moved off the festival site and into an isolation facility.

After receiving advice they have now all decided to return home.

Dr Mark Salter, one of the 600-strong medical team at the festival, said: "This is generally a mild illness but we are taking no chances and strongly advising people with symptoms to leave the festival.

"Because of the number of people it is highly likely that we will see other cases, but we are fully prepared."

An uninvited guest

At a guest Eavis would rather be waived: Microscopically small steel is H1N1, the pathogen of swine flu, on the grounds, but was at one of the many health checks noticed.

There were a total of six suspected cases. Doctors were concerned initially quarantined. Then they had to leave the premises. The 177,000 festival visitors were informed about the incident. Fans who are due to a contact of increased contagion risk saw doctors got the drug administered.

How much strong, it seems now as they speaked about without a microphone at the crowd during the concert ...

Another event without brakes, as the one in the already cited E.A.Poe castle party novel.
