CNN stated on April 28, 2009 that there were at least 800 deaths in the U.S. due to normal influenza in each individual week between January 1 and April 18, which is higher than the combined worldwide death toll for the swine flu.[115]
so if normal flu death rates are 800 per week and swine flu deaths in america are at 400 total, there are some comparisons.
yea i got that. same thing happened in the early stages of the 1919 out break. then the fall came and poof....
CDC is saying that half the country could actually be infected. some areas could have between 50% and 100% of their ICU beds filled with H1N1 victims.
