Regular flu has killed 13,000 in US since 1/09… Swine Flu? 2.
Hysteria serves no one. We need to be told the full story. As far as I can see, the tragic deaths of 100+ Mexican citizens happened because the ill did not get to medical care until the flu had done too much damage. Two people died in the US, one Mexican boy who was brought to a US hospital and died because the swine flu had done too much damage. The other death was a new mother who had underlying health issues. Tragic. But not a pandemic.
In Afghanistan, the ONE pig who is in the zoo was quarantined, because the Afghanis were worried it would infect them…
There had been no confirmed deaths in the United States related to swine flu as of Tuesday afternoon. But another virus had killed thousands of people since January and is expected to keep killing hundreds of people every week for the rest of the year.
