If the number of kids being killed were actually being killed by a murderer, we would have our ears perked right? H1N1, the Flu and so on are murderers of children and for us with kids with “underlying conditions” (AKA asthma, hang nail Pfft) it’s a scary thing.

My son has just got out of the hospital with pneumonia from a bacterial infection, if he catches H1N1 OR seasonal flu, I doubt he’d make it, so you bet I’m keeping up with the news about it.

Let’s go ahead now and make our own estimate for H1N1 based on the actual “confirmed” deaths from last year compared to the “estimate”(36,000) that so many throw around so loosely. This would mean for every “confirmed seasonal” flu death last year there were 20 additional deaths.

So…Now we take the number of currently “confirmed” H1N1 deaths and apply the same ratio (although I think the ratio will, in the end, be higher for H1N1). Today (per wikipedia) we have 1451 “confirmed” deaths. Multiply that by our “CDC” estimation ratio of 20.

1 4 5 1 x 2 0 = 2 9 , 0 2 0 H 1 N 1 D E A T H S SO FAR! ! !

Regular FLU SEASON would have only just begun.

So I guess you are right…………………………for another week or so anyway. And then look out.

WE WILL BE LUCKY IF WE ONLY LOOSE 90,000 AMERICAN LIVES THIS FLU SEASON TO H1N1.

Take a look at this link and ask yourself why they include the Influenza and Pneumonia Syndrome* deaths. These death counts are presently more than 5:1 compared to H1N1 confirmed deaths. And this was only what has been “reported” to the CDC as of 10/27/09.

Pay no attention to these panic news, just to compare 36000 died of the flu last year in the US alone.
