[quote=sd_bear][quote=DWCAP]The thing that has the ‘experts’ worried (other than a repeat of the spanish flu) is that it is killing young people. We have had what, 9 people die of swine flu in the USA? We usually have something like 35000 people die each year of the normal flu, seems kinda off right?
Well the problem is that the ‘normal’ flu kills or sickens the most vunerable. The very young, very old, or the very sick. This one is killing the healthy people, the 20 year olds who very rarely die of something like the flu. [/quote]
I don’t necessarily buy this. The vast majority of the swine flu deaths have been the very young and the very old. Every single death I’ve read about (in the US) that was someone of normal/healthy age there was an underlying medical condition involved, with the exception this new 20 year old. Though very limited information has been released so far and I would be surprised if there wasn’t some other medical condition present.[/quote]
Everyone has a underlying condition that can be cited. No one is perfectly healthy. Your average 30-40 year old is probly alittle over-weight, has elevated blood pressure, often the beginning of liver issues due to excessive alcohol consumption, etc etc.
