EU experts say some countries 'ambushe' by H1N1
None
Some countries have been "ambushed" by sudden severe outbreaks of disease and death from the H1N1 flu pandemic, and have gone over the top in their response, a European flu specialist said on Friday.
Angus Nicoll, influenza coordinator at the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control, said the apparent sudden surge of disease in Ukraine, which has reported at least 86 deaths from flu-like illness, was a feature of H1N1 - which is mild in most people and can spread undetected for weeks.
