That is about 1% death rate. Swine flu appears to have a 6-7% death rate - like the Spanish flu. We won’t know for a time yet.

And for Obama to get more money to spend as he sees fit...he’s asked for a billion to deal with the flu epidemic (which isn’t an epidemic)...at least not yet.

My “hysteria’ went no further than checking to check whether my Mother-in-Law’s pneumonia vaccination was current.
It is, ours are.

Anyone know if the flu vaccine that was encouraged last fall has any sort of protective effect with this strain?
