could this be our "katrina" for the year?



quote:

The Department of Health and Hospitals estimates between 20,000 and 30,000 people in Louisiana have been infected with the H1N1 virus, and the first Louisiana death caused by
the virus was confirmed in New Orleans on Aug. 13.

I was at the student health Center yesterday. Lady there said over 200 people were getting swabbed for swine flu that day.

It is going to be many teams "Katrina."

Different reports have different targets as far as expected population affected and deaths.

People die from the flu every year. The gov't has scared everyone into thinking this swine flu is some deadly epidemic.

It's the fricking flu. A handful will die as they do every year.

Actually this could affect any and all teams - since the swine flu is not partial to any particular climate (at least within the continental US).

Some preliminary studies show that people who have existing lung ailments (bronchial, asthma etc.. ), severe diabetes and some major surgeries are more prone to get affected to a worse degree than normal folks - leave alone healthy , superior specimens like college athletes.
