The number of people suffering from the swine flu has been declining for two weeks. This is apparent from figures from NIVEL.
There is there is an epidemic when 50 out of 100,000 people are sick. Two weeks ago, there were still 184 reports of the Swine flu out of 100,000 people are known, now there are only 113. The number of flu patients is also falling in neighboring countries, Belgium, Luxembourg, England and France.
During the entire flu wave there was a mild epidemic , compared to a real epidemic, only few people have died from the flu † What is striking is that so many young people have become victims of the swine flu and that older people have been spared.
For the time being, vaccination will continue to keep the flu under control. The government has decided to sell 19 million vaccines to countries where the flu is far from under control. Just to be sure, 2.2 million extra vaccinations kept on hand.
