Flu Update: Mortality and Morbidity of Swine Flu

Summary:

Mortality rate (as I suspected) based on true Mexico numbers is less than 1% (11932 cases with 42 deaths).

Age most affected remains 5-40 years old

Overall this is a mild illness but hope and pray that a second wave doesn’t occur or is just as mild.  I am hopeful that gov et al will start production of vaccine for this fall.

Questions?
