CDC: U.S. flu deaths likely as outbreak spreads - Swine flu- msnbc.com
At least seven people were in U.S. hospitals with swine flu as the number of cases nationwide rose to 68 on Tuesday and a federal health official warned that deaths were likely.
Most of the nation's confirmed cases were in New York City, where the health commissioner said "many hundreds" of schoolchildren were ill with what was "most likely swine flu." The city announced 45 confirmed cases, all affiliated with a Catholic high school.
Dr. Richard Besser, acting director of the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, noted that although ordinary human flu accounts for 36,000 deaths every year, he was concerned by this strain.
******OK It is true there is cause for some concern. Alarm should come when this virus turns into a super-spreader or mortality rates begin rising quickly....as I see it now a certain immunity is following this nasty bug along as can be seen here . My 88 yr old came home yesterday with dust masks.....
HERE is a neat video about a company more people should pay attention to......although I am not sure I classify this as a "disease outbreak"......36,ooo people die of flu every year.........36,ooo.........ok if that didn't sink in read this.......and then as a conclusion to tonight's post read this......its the only answer.
