Global swine flu deaths top 700
by admin on Jul.21, 2009, under Dead, Dead Children, H1N1, Swine Flu
H1N1 swine flu has killed more than 700 people around the world since the outbreak began four months ago, says the World Health Organization (WHO).
This represents a jump of at least two-thirds from the last official death toll figure of 429, published by the WHO on July 6.
Margaret Chan, WHO director-general, has warned that swine flu will become the biggest flu pandemic ever seen.
However, most cases continue to produce only mild symptoms.
The overwhelming majority of patients usually recover, even without medical treatment, within a week of falling ill.
The WHO has said the pandemic is developing at such a high speed that it is now pointless to try to document every case.
In past pandemics, flu viruses have needed more than six months to spread as widely as the new H1N1 virus has spread in less than six weeks.
