by Magdalena Rosova
The swine flu epidemic killed hundreds of people in France and in the middle of January a group of doctors monitoring the epidemic in mainland France said that it has ended. According to the World health Organisation, swine flu has killed at least 12,799 people worldwide since it was first recognized in Mexico in March 2009. The Americas were hit by the swine flu the strongest as it keeps reporting the biggest number of casualties with at least 6,880 deaths. In Europe, at least 2,554 people have died from the swine flu. Thierry Blanchon, one of the doctors of the Sentinelles flu monitoring network, was the one who officially announced the end of the epidemic in France! . The reason for the announce is the fact that the number of people infected by swine flu has fallen bellow the epidemic level. After the number of infected patients stayed bellow the epidemic level for the two weeks, the doctors decided to announce the end of the epidemic in France. However, the vaccinations will continue as the doctors advice people to get vaccinated as it is important to prevent a resurgence of the tricky H1N1 flu virus. Health authorities warn people not to underestimate the importance of the vaccination. So far, the swine flu has killed 240 people in France. French government bought 94 million vaccines against swine flu and they need to be used. Both press and public want Health Minister Roselyne Bachelot to resign as she overestimated the need for vaccine. It seems that swine flu is easing in England as well. The British government said in its weekly swine flu briefings that the flu crisis has decreased dramatically.
