Recently release, 19 children died of the flu last week. a 95%
increase.
I am wondering if these children were ill at all, were from poverty
areas with not enough treatment (even parents willing to hydrate
them) ... I don't really know if I buy the "Swine flu" death without
more details.. was it high fever, infection, etc and all were confirmed
h1n1... and how many "healthy" people have died from regular flu's?

I know something like 36,000 (reg flu) per year but how does this
relate/compare?

If Doc or others (Jan when she returns!) have ideas or discussion on
this, I'd love to explore. I find this all incredibly marketable and odd
that they knew about this flu a year ago (as a "dangerous flu) and
are heavily pushing vaccines that they seem to be in small supply of.
I find it odder that over half of the medical professionals (state from
Georgia) won't get the vaccine either!

Why is government pushing but medical professionals NOT?
