I wonder how many people have died from the seasonal flu during the same period.

[cripplecreek]

Likely?

Estimate?

[leenie312]

I live in CNY and I haven’t heard of any people dying around here from swine flu...wonder where they all live

[mgstarr]

And do we believe their statistics?

[Recovering_Democrat]

HOW MANY DIED IN KATRINA??
I BLAME HUSSEIN!!

[Lucky9teen]

It’s been a while since I’ve heard any reports on the “flu” but last I heard, it was 70 deaths.

Interesting how it’s gone up and not much of a peep from the news...not that it’d be true if it was reported.

I call BS

[MrDem]

These stats are TOTAL GARBAGE! The CDC does not even test for this anymore so no one really knows. The normal flu kills something like 15,000 every year alone.

[icwhatudo]

150 people die each day during regular flu season.

[TChad]

Curously, the names of all those killed by swine flu appear identical to names on Acorn voter registration lists.

[bgill]

It includes deaths caused by complications related to swine flu, including pneumonia and bacterial infections.

About time.

I’m home with the swine flu. Had a temp of over 103 Monday, got Tamiflu, started getting better right away.

[GeorgiaDawg32]

and if that number doesn’t scare people into getting the vaccine, they’ll adjust the number upwards yet again..

[WellyP]

Who’s cooking the books?

[Train Collector]

Since every case of flu is being reported as swine flu how can they tell 4000 deaths have been specifically from H1N1?

[ronnie raygun]

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?

[luckystarmom]

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.

[nurees]

Who knows since any Type A is supposed to be reported as H1N1. Talk about skewing the numbers.

[Cicero]

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.

[ml/nj]

And how many from swimming pools?

ML/NJ

[jennyjenny]

Sure are a lot of deaths on Obama’s watch.

[Bahbah]

I thought they gave a direction to stop testing for this flu midsummer, so how would they know this. Post-mortem testing?
