If, at the end of this, US deaths end up less than H1N1 (roughly 12,000) then wouldn’t that be a massive success? We keep hearing this is so much worse than H1N1, which justifies the closures, panic, etc. But if we end up at say 5,000 deaths, then what?

FTR we are at 500 right now.

I don’t think 15000-20000 is a crazy number when you compare it to what the flu can do in a given year. I’d like to hear SFP’s prediction. He’s spent the past few days haranguing the Poli Talk board about this being the second coming of the Black Death.
