3000 in England or 3000 in UK?
NB Numbers of confirmed cases is now a misleading statistic, as
swabbing HAS stopped in some parts of Scotland, and there are now 199
cases of "presumed" H1N1 2009 as well as confirmed cases.
Adding together all confirmed and presumed cases for today now totals
1519, not the 1320 quoted on some info / news sites.
