. Advice will be reviewed if virus continues to spread. Over-50s might have some immunity to H1N1 strainSwine flu may be more infectious than so far appears in the UK and the current guidance on catching it may have to be changed, the chief medical officer, Sir Liam Donaldson, warned today.The World Health Organisation concurred, saying that if unchecked, swine flu could affect almost a third of the population - 2 billion people.Although currently it is only mild, the attack rate of the strain now affecting 23 countries is around 25-30%, Donaldson said, although he added that it was possible people over the age of 50 might have some immunity to the virus.In the UK, the Health Protection Agency says that only those who have been within one metre of an infected person for more than an hour are considered to be at risk.
