The percentages don't work out right, but that could be because of more meticulous reporting by the US and/or a broader definition of flu-related fatality.<br /><br />Of course, that 30K or 36K figure in and of itself is an average. It goes up and down, and it could very well be lower this coming season because of the heightened awareness leading to more people getting vaccinated, even if H1N1 figures eventually end up getting merged with other flu varieties when they determine the number of flu deaths for the 2009-10 season.kushibohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10306033998028548550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3869680.post-87137360616895245892009-11-11T00:12:08.679+09:002009-11-11T00:12:08.679+09:00That 30,000 figure is just in the U.S, right?
