Readers have their say in swine flu after first fatality

Swine flu rocked Glasgow this week after a city woman became the first person in Europe to die from the virus on Sunday.

Jacqui Fleming, 38, of Carnwadric, gave birth prematurely more than two weeks ago and had underlying health problems when she was admitted to Paisley's Royal Alexandra Hospital.

The first death from swine flu comes after the number of people contracting the virus soared dramatically. But many people remain divided as to just how serious the pandemic really is.
