I'm grateful again to Celvin for bringing together the Top Ten (that's probably not the right phrase) of swine flu death tolls in European countries. It's posted below but to save you scrolling down...
Europe: death rate by country
So far, around 1125 people have died from H1N1 in Europe*. If we measure number of deaths per million inhabitants, Europe has seen 1.54 deaths per million people as an average
The countries with the highest death rate are
1. SCOTLAND (47) : 9.09
2. WALES (23) : 7.68
3. NORTHERN IRELAND (13) : 7.32
4. MALTA (3) : 7.25
5. ICELAND (2) : 6.26
6. NORWAY (25) : 5.21
7. LUXEMBOURG (2) : 4.05
8. IRELAND (17) : 3.82
9. KOSOVO (7) : 3.25
10. ENGLAND (163) : 3.17
11. MOLDOVA (11) : 3.08
12. FINLAND (16) : 3.00
13. SPAIN (135) : 2.95
UK as a whole : 4.01
*As reported by 29 November
Ukraine's numbers are based on ECDC's data; currently reporting 18 H1N1 deaths

The Scottish official figure released today is 49 but that takes us up to November 30 and Scotland announced a total of 51 deaths yesterday. Scotland as I suspected comes top. Even Wales comes up in second place but Spain seems to have lost its early tag of being a swine flu hot spot and is only at number 13. The latest UK figures are being released at 5pm today.
