From the Washington Post :
Quote:

While the seasonal flu is associated with 30,000 to 40,000 deaths and 200,000 hospitalizations each year, the lack of immunity to the swine flu virus probably will lead to many more people becoming infected, sick -- and possibly to 30,000 to 90,000 deaths, the council said. And while most deaths during a typical flu season occur in the elderly, swine flu is more likely to kill children and young adults, the panel said.

now, i don't want anyone to get sick or die, but the numbers seem to come down when they get called on it. And, as i said in the conspiracy thread, I am all for people vaccinating their kids.
