Pandemic Flu
Medical consensus is that the H1N1 swine flu will
return to the US this fall as a pandemic...the first pandemic this country has
had since the Hong Kong Flu of 1968...and with little immunity in the
population, the number of cases could be in the millions, with fatalities in
the tens of thousands. If the virus evolves into a more virulent form, as past
pandemics have done, the numbers would be much higher.
Information about H1N1 flu and vaccines is available in spoken form
