The Government today suggested that between 30 and 90,000 from swine flu. As far as I know, the swine flu is hard to diagnose. In 2006, there were about 45,000 deaths (CDC.gov) from “normal” flu. Plus, we have a large older population who are already vulnerable and this could push up the numbers.
Who says that these numbers will not be manipulated to include the “normal” flu and the swine flu? Doesn’t anyone realize that this could be blown out of proportion? Doesn’t anyone remember the 1976 fiasco?
What about the Southern Hemisphere (other side of the Earth)? The are just getting out of Winter. I have heard nothing about increased death down there. If there were, it would be all over the news.
Possibly, if one thing will get “Universal” healthcare, this will be the driving force to pass it. I believe that this is a Government scare tactic. Hillary Clinton said once,
