RSSH1N1 Still Not On Par With Seasonal Flu Deaths
J.J. Jackson | November 2, 2009
It has been pandemonium with government bureaucrats trying hard to get everyone worked up into a lather about the H1N1 virus, affectionately called the Swine Flu. But as seems typical whenever the government tries to tell us how bad something is going to be for us and is trying to heard Americans into getting a special shot that they have tried to provide (almost completely unsuccessfully as shortages are rampant) they are excluding some important information like that so far the Swine Flu appears much less fatal than even the seasonal flu.
Each and every year somewhere between 30,000 and 40,000 Americans die from either the seasonal flu or complications from the disease. Right now we are supposedly in the height of the Swine Flu Pandemic. And right now there have been just 1,452 confirmed deaths from the Swine Flu in the United States. I get this data from the summary page about the pandemic at Wikipedia.
Oh, it is going to suck to get sick with the Swine Flu for certain, but even now at the peak of the danger it is going to have a long way to go to even match the toll in human lives that the seasonal flu does year in and year out. It’s highly contagious, but we will have to wait and see whether or not it is as fatal.
So far? It is not keeping pace with its more common and seasonal brethren. And here we have been told how bad everything is going to be by Big Brother as they try to lead us around and scare us into submission.
