Critics say ‘mild’ a misleading term for H1N1

TORONTO — Officialdom’s mantra about H1N1 — “it is overwhelmingly mild” — might seem incongruous if we knew the number of children, teens and young adults in ICU beds right now alive only because a breathing machine has taken over for their ravaged lungs.

The heavy reliance on the word “mild “ could be creating a false impression of what is actually going on and what the world may face in coming months, some experts worry.

I was telling my family about this type of thing when we went to the store a couple of months ago and no hand sanitizer was left on the shelves. Went to 4 stores - same results.

It is one thing when the available hand sanitizer runs out. It is another thing entirely when the available respirators/ hospital beds run out.
