Default Re: u.s. orders 300 million doses of swine flu vaccine

In one respect, Burgundia, the numbers are probably much higher than quoted. It's getting to be here, in the States, that when you walk into a doctor's office, they say if you have flu symptoms to go home. Same with hospitals. Unless you are REALLY sick (i.e, on the verge of dying), they don't want you in making others sick. So, there's no way in hell that they can be counting every case. As of 6/11, officially, there was 27,737 infections reported in 74 countries, including 141 deaths, according to the WHO's latest tally of laboratory confirmed cases, but the real number of people with the disease is likely to run into at least hundreds of thousands, as mild cases may not have been detected.

That said, my intention is to stay out of crowds in the fall - close to home.
