The latest I've heard is the virus appears to be the upper respiratory receptor strain as opposed to the deep lung strain like the 1918 Spanish flu. Hopefully that's the case and whatever mutations come about won't change the virus much.

The WHO numbers include the US ones, BTW. They're not in conflict with the CDC numbers.

I like their music, but what the Hell do they know about Swine Flu? I have never heard of the other group CDC? Must be one of those new groups that the young folks listen too?

Our local paper has hyped this up so much you might think it was the bubonic plague.

go back and read about the The Spanish flu of 1918
about a half a million died in the US from it.
around 25 million year round.
The old fort Devens which was a mustering point for WW1 soldiers to go to Europe had 15,000 buried there.
