Time to worry about swine flu yet?
News today is that Colombian President Alvaro Uribe has swine flu. Now not that that's a harbinger of apocalypse and it's time to go running down to your local medical supply store to stock up on surgical masks - the Colombian President says he'll just be working from home as he heals.
But this is the latest in a string of swine flu stories (in fact, Uribe is the second Latin American leader to contract H1N1) and the Washington Post reminds us that flu season is fast approaching.
So honestly - is this really something we need to be worried about? Is this an overhyped story from a media in the August doldrums?
