Hi But is this on top of regular flu or instead of regular flu? If the latter great. If the former, then it is like saying that new disease X is not too bad as it kills fewer people than existing disease Y. Also, is it not the case that H1N1 is killing people who are NOT likely to be killed by regular flu? Difficult then to compare mortality rates (e.g., H1N1 only kills 5% of infected [young] people versus regular flu which kills 10% of infected [old] people ... warning ... numbers chosen out of the air and no basis in fact!).

Check out this interview: http://www.cbc.ca/canada/story/2009/11/02/f-viewpoint-cassels.html The best line is: "There is substantial evidence that the mortality rate from H1N1 flu is actually much smaller than seasonal flu."
