Good news about H1N1!

I just did the math. If you forward the numbers of deaths from H1N1 from July to today, 200 people will die in Canada from H1N1.

Since from 700 to 2,000 people die in Canada every year from the flu, the regular flu is from three to 10 times more lethal than the H1N1 flu.

Finally some good health news.
