Rupert Had Swine Flu!

I almost had a heart attack when I read this!


Rupert Grint (Ron Weasley) recently recovered from a bout of swine flu. Says the actor in a press conference, "'It was quite scary when I first found out I had swine flu,' he said at a press conference with other Potter actors including Emma Watson in London.
'I thought "Am I going to die?" But it was just like any other flu really.'
'I had a sore throat and I went to bed for a few days.'"

I'm thankful Rupert's okay. Already nine people have died of the swine flu in Britain and there's about 7,500 cases.

The government warns that there could be 100,000 new cases a day by the end of August.
