LONDON: When the H1N1 alarm began last year, the United Kingdom, with a population of around 60 million, set up special procedures, suspended normal rules, and told national and local authorities to prepare for 65,000 deaths, prepare the morgues for record numbers of fatalities and instructed the armed forces to be on stand-by.
