ATLANTA – Federal health officials now say that 4,000 or more Americans likely have died from swine flu — about four times the estimate they've been using.

Was the state run media told to shut up for a while because they screwed up and there’s not enough to go around? Or are they quiet because there is enough and they don’t want to hand it out. Seems like they have enough to vaccinate the terrorists at guantannimo. F the American citizen lets keep our guests alive and well so they can kill more Americans. Did our new terrorst friend from ft Hood get his?
My mom has it right now, and I’m worried about her. It’s turned into pleurisy, and she is in a lot of pain. They did a chest x-ray on her yesterday, and said she didn’t have pneumonia. Doctor sent her home.
My mom rarely gets sick and doesn’t complain much, so if she if she says she’s not well then I think it must be bad.
Who knows since any Type A is supposed to be reported as H1N1. Talk about skewing the numbers.
Totally worthless. As the CBS investigative article pointed out, the Sebelius gang stopped TESTING for swine flu months ago. So they have no idea how many cases there are, or even whether people have flu at all.
This is nothing but more scare politics. I assume they want to use some sort of hyped up “emergency” to push Obamacare through. Hopefully it won’t work.

"In 2005, there were 3,582 fatal unintentional drownings in the United States, averaging ten deaths per day. An additional 710 people died, from drowning and other causes, in boating-related incident"
Sure are a lot of deaths on Obama’s watch.
I thought they gave a direction to stop testing for this flu midsummer, so how would they know this. Post-mortem testing?
Don’t we normally have about 30,000 to 40,000 deaths per year from the seasonal flu?
36,000 more and we’ll make it to a normal flu year....
I think in my state they are only testing if you get admitted to the hospital.
How would they know? They told hospitals to quit testing for H1N1 in August. They are counting anyone with flu like symptoms as H1N1. There is a report that I saw that said that many so called H1N1 cases, and even seasonal flu cases aren’t flu after all. The only good thing to come out of this propagandist pandemic is the illustration of the ineptitude of the public option.
Normal level of deaths would be 40,000.
So far this flu is invisible. (too bad Obama!)
She didn't have the flu. She has a bacterial infection.
Use a heat pad to reduce the pain, and accelerate elimination of the bacteria. Del-Immune will help too, if you have it. (www.delimmune.com)
Any idea how many nonfatal ones there were? And did they say how many intentional drownings there were?

I don't believe it did, but here's the link - have a look-see for yourself...
Funny - our goofy old Navy Corpsman drove up to the L. A. area and stormed the civilian hospital (I'd gone to the ER and was in the cardiac unit, thanks to a botched intern job on an EKG), yelling "I'm the boy's doctor!"
I'd had "mess duty" for endless weeks in the steamy dish cleaning areas of Camp Pendleton and that's where we figure I contracted it.....but it's never reoccured, thankfully.
When my mom went to the doctor yesterday, they didn’t test her for flu.
I wanted to know if it was definitely flu because if it is we can get tamiflu for my dad who has congestive heart failure.
It started with sore throat, then runny nose and congestion, and then the chest pains.
If you google H1N1, they said that you can get pleurisy from it.
It won’t even be a normal flu season until over 40,000 have died.
