What's your opinion? Is our government lying to us when they say 30,000 to 90,000 deaths in the US?
And remember when we didn't have vaccines for the mild flu strain of a few years ago? Now we don't have a single vaccine for this flu yet. And they are projecting best case scenario to have vaccines only for those at extra risk of death by the time it arrives full force.
Did anyone else catch that those over age 55 or so shouldn't need the vaccine????
Swine flu deaths climb, raising next-wave fears
"WHO reports at least 625 deaths across globe over past week.
Most of the deaths are in the Western Hemisphere, though the disease is in full-blown global epidemic mode.
The virus could eventually infect 2 billion people, or a third of the world's population, according to WHO estimates.
"In the best case scenario we have today, we will still have a moderate virus that is projected to cause several million deaths," Dr. Tammam Aloudat, senior health officer at the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies, told a separate news briefing.
"Which means that even in the best case scenario, we do have an emergency on our hands, an emergency of a scale different from what we have seen before in the modern era," he said as the federation launched an information campaign.
