Containment to Treatment
New Scientist: Swine flu 'containment' is dangerous PR
The UK has abandoned Containment for swine flu in London, Glasgow and Birmingham, and moved to Treatment. In other words, we are all expected to eventually contract swine flu now, with a 0.4% fatality rate (the same as winter flu). Swine flu is unusual for a flu because it spreads readily in summer. Thus far, swine flu is a flu (!) which we have all had probably many times over our lives, but not usually in summer so it is hard to not expect some affect on the economy.
