Should people buy drugs from the internet?? whats the best course of action and unlike other scares ~ Bird Flu, SARS, Aids, why should we think this is worst??

Swine flu deaths in Britain soar to 29 as 12 people die in just FOUR days

Health officials are now preparing for a 'worst case scenario' of 65,000 deaths this year in what they fear may only be the first wave of the disease.

They believe 30 per cent of the population could be infected and expect 0.35 per cent of those people to die.

Today it was also revealed that Cherie Blair, the wife of former Liar of a prime minister Tony Blair, may have swine flu.

She pulled out of a ceremony to receive an honorary doctorate at Liverpool Cathedral today. The BBC said this was because Mrs Blair had the virus.

It came as doctors warned that patients were swamping GPs' surgeries and called for extra medics to be drafted in.

Mrs Blair was said to have felt unwell this week and to have taken Tamiflu. She has reportedly cancelled other engagements while she recuperates.

She is not believed to have passed on the virus and is expected to make a full recovery within days.

Until this afternoon, only 17people were believed to have died after contracting the deadly virus.

The UK Government announced new details today of the National Pandemic Flu Service for England, which should be up and running towards the end of next week.

This telephone and internet-based service will enable people to get a diagnosis of swine flu, obtain a unique reference number, and gain access to Tamiflu.

People will be diagnosed over the telephone or can follow a questionnaire on the internet which will give them a diagnosis.

A 'flu friend' can then obtain the antiviral for a sick person from a depot around the country using the unique reference number.
