aussieboy: where did you get those numbers from? I just looked on CNN, and they have a full breakdown. They say there are only 154 confirmed cases of swine flu in the entire world, with only 8 deaths. That’s just over a 5% fatality rate. Also, 7 of the 8 deaths were in Mexico, where the people couldn’t get proper health care, and lived in very poor conditions. The one fatality in the US was a baby.
The regular flu infects and kills many more people than the swine flu. The whole thing is being overblown.
