Nope.

H1N1 has killed what, 3000... 4000 people globally? According to the CDC, the common flu that we've all come to know and love kills 250,000 to 500,000 people yearly.


Media scare tactics are a funny thing.

As far as I know, I don't believe anyone in my area has died, although I know quite a few people who have had it. It was passed around in my school for a while, and one person even got it and didn't even know she had it until about a week after she was better. Whatever we have in our area seems to be fairly weak.

I think so long as you have running water and halfway decent nutrition, it's pretty weak everywhere.

Around five people have died in my city. Last one was a 12 year old boy who died in less than 48 hours after contracting it. It was a severe case.

Yes. There have been 5 deaths from H1N1 so far this year.

The most recent was in Fayette County, PA.

There have been two deaths in Allegheny County, one in Butler County and one in nearby Morgantown, West Virgina.

The child here was about 5 or 6. Tragic to have a young life taken out.
