anybody who compares flu deaths to h1n1 deaths simply doesn't understand what a pandemic is, the risks involved and the potential damage. |
It is officially a pandemic at this point in time. There are around 200,000 hospitalizations with the regular flu every year and they are predicting that many or more this year with those contracting H1N1...and our hospitals will be overwhelmed if in fact around 400,000 need to be hospitalized.
