For the last time, it is not the lethality of H1N1 swine flu that is at issue here.
IT IS THE NUMBER OF CASES THAT WILL OCCUR ALL AT ONCE THAT MAY OVERWHELM THE HEALTH SYSTEM.
That is why Victoria is opening fever clinics. It is an attempt at triage - to separate people into three groups, the worried well, those with "mild" H1N1 who just need Tamiflu, and those with H1N1 and pre existing conditions that require hospitalisation.
To put it in terms a pilot might understand, in two months time you are unlucky enough to have a heart attack. You are transported to hospital. There is no bed for you because the hospital is full of Flu patients.
