While the media & WHO are hyping up this H1N1 virus and the World Health Organization has lowered the threshold for declaring a pandemic so low that the seasonal flu can be counted as such, Dr Shaffer at Vanderbilt, along with the head of the CDC & other prominent doctors worldwide are saying this flu is easy to catch, but a mild form of the flu. Australia just finished it's peak H1N1 season & only had 5% of the projected death toll and England just reduced their death toll predictions by 2/3. Worldwide this H1N1 flu is having a smaller than predicted death toll, just as in 1976, because this H1N1 virus is not new, it has been around for years & has been included in the seasonal flu shot for several of the last years shots according to Dr. Sherri Tenpenny. 2,000 Students at a Washington State College got the flu and after 3 to 5 days most are back in school & had no deaths to date there. Dr Tom Jefferson prominent epidemiologist for the last 15 yrs at the Cochrane Collaboration in Italy specializes in flu says washing hands & avoiding contact with others is a good way to avoid geting it & said it was mild as well.
