Mindmeld, > H1N1 death rates are 41% higher. You're extrapolating the percentage of pediatric flu deaths due to H1N1 vs. non-H1N1, then comparing that to the percentage of overall flu cases that are due to H1N1 vs. non-H1N1. But the number of pediatric flu deaths is LESS THAN 0.3% of all the flu cases. You cannot extract reliable H1N1 death rates from such a small sample pool. The statistical variance is just too high. > In my original post, I said they were higher and you disputed that. Do you continue to dispute that? Are you doubtful of the CDC statistics? Are they part of this global scientific conspiracy to fool the GOP that you guys are always blathering about? Do liberals who pretend to be "former Republicans" always fail at basic math like you do?
