What's the mortality rate on swine flu?

It's difficult to assess the death rate, at least at this point. In Mexico, about 150 people have died out of 1,600 cases reported. However, this is probably a gross overestimate of the mortality rate, because reporting is subject to bias- more severe, respiatory failure-inducing cases are more likely to be thoroughly investigated, and thus are more likely to be reported to public health authorities.

Limited access to doctors and to diagnostic tests in economically disadvantaged areas of Mexico may also lead to underreporting. Many people with a mild, self-limited illness due to swine flu may not visit a physician and are never diagnosed- thus these people are excluded from statistics. The cases in the US have typically been much milder than those reported in Mexico, for reasons that are unclear to this point.

Quote from Centers for Disease Control and Prevention: "Like seasonal flu, swine flu in humans can vary in severity from mild to severe. Between 2005 until January 2009, 12 human cases of swine flu were detected in the U.S. With no deaths occurring. However, swine flu infection can be URL1 September 1988, a previously healthy 32-year-old pregnant woman in Wisconsin was hospitalized for pneumonia after being infected with swine flu and died 8 days later.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
