And besides, this H1N1 influenza is not normally as potent as many other strains...just more of it around.
Looking at the USA as one indicator, 36,000 die of flu every year, on average.
According to the CDC, it is unlikely to change much this time around.
Of course, it's panic-stations with many...start school and let it happen, as it will anyway.
Many schools now in the USA have hired extra folks to scrub down desks, railings, tables, chairs etc nightly in the hope that the poor little dears don't start dropping like flys.
