Almost nobody is paying attention to it at the moment, but the swine flu is still making the rounds, and the growth rate in new cases has not noticeably gone down. For instance, these headlines:
Londoners Suffer Summer of Swine Flu as Cases Mount
Three deaths, 260 new cases reported in New Jersey
And it hasn't even gotten going in China, which only reporting 915 cases thus far. That's enough to be fairly certain it will spread through the population at large, but not enough for anybody to be worried ... yet.
And of course, the wildcard in all this is what happens if the current H1N1 virus recombines with another virus to become more lethal. Autumn and winter will be interesting, in the way of the old Chinese curse.
