Let's hope so. Young, healthy people are getting it, and the rate of mortality has been a concern, I think.Quote:

Um, that 2.8% is happening way faster than it did in years before and we're at a much more advanced level to date in the flu season just becasue this flu bug didn't go away in the summer.
I don't know why on earth you think this year will be less severe than others to be honest.
Well, I'm not always right on my predictions, and that's all it is. I'm not going to go completely through my though process on it.Quote:

I'd say that separates this from the standard flu, but you know, that's just me.
If you get sick a lot, take it if you want.
I haven't even thought twice about worrying about the dreaded swine flu.
this doesn't surprise me. a co worker took her little girl, maybe under 3 years old, to the doctor and they told her she had the flu...............didn't know what kind so they just said it was swine flu. turns out it was just flu, but was it taken down as that.............................................. ...
Theres just so much conflicting information and too many motives at work here.
No way for the common person to really figure out if the new vaccine would help them out should the h1n1 mutate down the road and become more deadly.
No way to know if the vaccine is really just garbage and a scheme to make money
It's all hickeldy pickeldy
I agree. The CDC reports something like 36,000 annual flu deaths, but when you remove the factors that really killed people, that number diminishes a great deal. The flu is more often just the item that complicated what a person really died of, sometimes making them die sooner. I think actual flu deaths are well under 1000 annually. However, more people get complications from the flue shots than that.
