We get 36,000 deaths a year from our normal flu. EDITED below ******* The fatality rate, at least in Mexico seems quite high for the number of cases of Swine Flu reported. I think that is what is ringing the alarm bells. Transmission seems to be easy. This morning's local newspaper here states that NC State health authorities expect to report confirmed Swine Flu cases in NC today or NLT tomorrow. Suspected NC Swine Flu patients have been ordered to stay home. I am not surprised. Migrant farm workers have been coming back in and lots of locals went to Mexico for spring break. News of the Swine Flu first broke a week ago. I am reminded of the old story about doubling a penny everyday. On day 7 you have 64 pennies. We exceeded that yesterday with 82 Swine Flu cases confirmed in North America and Europe. If you continue the daily double, on day 21 you will have over 1 million pennies. ****************** This hit the net 20 minutes ago. edition.cnn.com By early Tuesday, the swine flu outbreak in Mexico was suspected in 152 deaths and more than 1,600 illnesses, its health minister told reporters.
