Because it is one of the main news stories at the moment, that’s why. People are interested. I for one clicked into this story, as will many many others I am sure.
If you have nothing of substance to say, why are the JEP wasting column inches on your comments?

Lets face it, it is rather a ‘non-story’ to be appearing on page 2.
Two more cases being investigated, but one has been assessed as clear. Not earth shattering really when there is so much more important stuff left unreported.
This swine flu has caused rather a world-wide media frenzy. Let’s deal with it when it is actually here!
