AMERICAN SWINE FLU

BANZAI7--Federal health officials now say nearly 4,000 Americans have died from the H1N1 virus since it first emerged in April.

Last week, the World Health Organization announced that more than 6,000 people worldwide have died from H1N1 flu. The WHO says that, as of November 1, some 200 countries and territories have reported close to a half-million confirmed cases.

The CDC's Dr. Anne Schuchat, calls these numbers alarming. "I have already seen a larger number of deaths than we have had for several years."

WilliamBanzai7 says: What is slightly more alarming is that 2/3s of the mortality rate has occurred in the United States.
