More swine flu deaths in Scotland

Both men had the H1N1 strain of the virus
Two more people have died after contracting swine flu in Scotland, the Scottish government has revealed.
Both patients, a 42-year-old man from Glasgow and a 75-year-old man from the Grampian area, were said to have "underlying health conditions".
Health Secretary Nicola Sturgeon said most people with swine flu have mild symptoms and recover within a week.
The number of people admitted to hospital in Scotland with swine flu has reached a record high.
A total of 36 people with the bug were admitted last week - the largest weekly intake since the outbreak began.
The figure takes the number of people hospitalised in Scotland since the start of the outbreak to 208.
Estimates suggest that about 6,800 people caught the H1N1 virus last week, down from almost 13,800 the previous week.
A swine flu vaccine programme is due to start soon with 1.4 million people in Scotland expected to receive it by the end of the year. [/QUOTE]http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/scotland/8301455.stm
