I know you think the swineflu isn’t a big deal .
If your loved one died from the swineflu try telling everyone else it’s no big deal .
These nurses & doctor’s disagree with you ...
at allnurses.com regarding the Austin Medical Center with the triage tents outside...
This article is from Sept 22, 2009, on that day alone they had 200 positive H1N1 cases. A person who works there and he told me today that at least 17 ER nurses (including him) are sick with H1N1 and traveling nurses are now being brought in.

Twitter comments from two docs in Austin. They are very, very busy!! They are using those tents to see flu cases.
We shall see what we shall see. I still say there’s a reasonable chance that we will see about as many deaths during this flu season as we normally see.
