2. I guess it's a matter of who. In a normal flu season 30 35 children are killed

H1N1 has killed nearly a 100 children (in the US) to date.

3. yes. this is the frustration. over the last decade all the number of things

to create the fear. regardless of the facts of h1n1 right now, still we see the insistence of creating that fear for all. and on this one, .... is for a parent to fear the death of child. by gosh, .... fear that your child is gonna die. and that is not the reality. that is not the facts.
