biotech It is an audacious statement, but Sir Liam Donaldson, Chief Medical Officer of the UK, believes that swine flu cases may have peaked at about 110,000. He sees evidence that the number of people contracting the disease has leveled off. He admits that the flu may be back in the fall, but he does not insist that it will be.

Donaldson told the Guardian that “There is a possibility the virus has had its fill of us for the moment.”

If the number of people getting the flu is dropping and there is some chance that it will not be back with any force, a lot of drug companies will be disappointed.
