Third London case of swine flu confirmed

A 29-year-old man in the borough is being treated at home with antiviral drugs after becoming the third person confirmed with swine flu.
The man has mild symptoms and is said to be responding to treatment, the Department of Health said.
A spokesman for NHS Westminster said the man should be back at work next week and was making a full recovery.
A spokeswoman for the Health Protection Agency said: “There’s no antidote.
“There’s no vaccine because it’s a new ­disease and we won’t have one for six months. Tamiflu, the antiviral drug, is not a cure. It helps the immune system fight the virus.”
