You do realize that we don’t know how many cases we have in the US? We are not testing in any comprehensive way.
“We don’t know how many cases we have in the US”, is a true statement and we probably never will know, as we don’t really know in the normal flu season how many people are affected. I believe the Swiss have a better idea given the obsessive orderliness there.
I focus on the deaths and there I have more confidence, although the CDC still does not report a definite number...only ranges.
Bottom line is the mortality rate in Germany, Switzerland and Austria is far less than in Italy, and I say more indicative of what ours will be. These countries are serious about keeping numbers straight.
I’m willing to bet that when this is over the death toll in the US will be less than the 18,800 upper limit of the swine flu in 2009-2010.
Name your number.
