Every half hour on the radio, we are getting the body count - it is up to THIRTEEN people in the state of Maryland who have died from H1N1. In the same time period multiples of thirteen have died from homicide, and about the same number from traffic accidents.
BTW, If
GWB (and Brownie) were personally responsible for every death in New Orleans; and for every person who ‘suffered’ in the Superdome.
Why isn’t BHO and his Sec of Health responsible for the lack of proper vaccine?
There are too many mixed messages coming out. It has peaked. It is on the increase. Stay home & tough it out. No one is going to see their doctor. Only those hospitalized are tested. Someone in Any City, USA died from the swine flu. Whoops! that someone did not have the swine flu.
I wonder if the current hospitalizations are patients with acute symptoms that cannot be treated at home or patients with flu-like symptoms and pre-exsisting conditions. (A just in case scenario)
The CDC says H1N1 is widespread in 48 states, but I am hard pressed to find out where the widespread cases are in my state. I hear the occaisional news snip about someone having swine flu but it is more “Oh, by the way”. I have not heard of schools closing or a high absentee rate. Malls are crowded. People are going out to eat, to the movies, etc. If anything is keeping them home it is the economy, not the flu.
