The number of new cases of swine flu has halved in England amid signs the second peak of the pandemic is petering out, latest figures show.
There were 22,000 infections over the past seven days compared to 46,000 the week before, the government said.
To put that in context, the levels of flu being reported now are comparable to what has been seen in past winters.
But there are still 1,000 people in hospital in the UK and the death toll has reached 270.
This is in line with government estimates that there may be up to 1,000 this winter.
Although federal health officials decline to use the word “peaked,” the current wave of swine flu appears to have done so in the United States.
Flu activity is coming down in all regions of the country, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Friday, though it is still rising in Hawaii, Maine and some isolated areas.
The number of people with swine flu in England is continuing to fall, new figures show.
A total of 11,000 people were diagnosed last week, the Health Protection Agency said. The rate of the illness is now 21.1 per 100,000 people, compared with 30.9 last week.
Swine flu activity is down in Canada but federal health officials are cautious about declaring a peak.
I would say no for sure. people that had the flu without the shot came through just fine.
