I’m not trying to promote hysteria.
But the regular flu usually kills those over 85 , and those under 2 .
I’ve never heard of nurses , doctors , or healthy children ever dying from the regular flu before .
This is a swineflu thread for posting swineflu article’s ...
What are your thoughts on the below thread

This is death rates, just for children who died from the flu, not for adults:
During the 2003-04 season, 153 flu-associated deaths in children were reported to CDC. (This data was collected by CDC.)
During the 2004-05 season, 47 deaths in children were reported to CDC. (This is the first year that influenza mortality in children became a nationally reportable condition.)
During the 2005-06 season, 46 deaths in children were reported to CDC.
During the 2006-07 season, 76 deaths in children were reported to CDC.
As of June 14, 2008, 83 deaths in children occurring during the 2007-08 season have been reported to CDC

My first reaction, is that it lends itself to the conclusion that this may be man made.
That spreadsheet you just linked me to shows an awful lot of people who had underlying conditions. I don’t have the time now, but I’ll come back after manipulating that data a bit.
When you mentioned the deaths to people mostly ever 85 or under 2, I have to look back on your declaration yesterday that only 50 children a year between the ages of zero and 17 die from influenza each year. I didn’t agree with that then, and I still don’t.
