its been 7 months since the first detection of the flu in Mexico. I think 300 just gives a better idea of what it has done in that time.

Thats what I thought, but wasn't sure. Either way its a pretty cool picture. This is going up on FB

Regular influenza is missing, and pneumonia is also missing (unless it falls under respiratory infections). Age of victim is also missing (that plays a huge part in risk assessment of H1N1) Also, cause of death is a hard one to verify sometimes, if someone had heart disease and caught H1N1 and it stressed their system so much that they died of a heart failure would their death be swine flu or heart disease? If they died as a result of pneumonia brought on by H1N1 would it count as H1N1? Too many factors, not enough information. The chart is very nicely presented to downplay the risk though.

H1N1 - The next money maker for medical companies.

I will not get it, and I have seen enough of these charts.

You're more likely to drown in a bathtub than die from H1N1

It means in the last 300 days since swine was detected, 50million people have dies worldwide (average per year is 57) and of that only 5800 were from swine.

As far as I can tell "they" are quick to blame H1N1 on any related death. Canada for sure has only had ~80 deaths and they were ALL H1N1 along side some other ailment.

From what I have read the "regular" infuenza kills between 2,000 and 8,000/year so really the H1N1 is a pussy cat.

So, the chart shows that a number of common, uncurable diseases kill more people than a seasonal, curable one?

The flu is curable?

I heard the opposite version of "they" that pneumonia deaths especially were not attributed to H1N1 even though it was the initial cause of the pneumonia. Which is why I posed the question.

Don't take it the wrong way though, I believe H1N1 is WAY over hyped in the media, it's the annoying "disease du jour". I definitely try not to subscribe to the infectious hysteria, but regardless of all that, the chart is still bunk.

You could be right, I don't really believe anything I'm reading these days.

I would be more interested in seeing a similiar chart but just based on Canada / North America. Deaths from things like Malaria aren't really relevant here in Canada.

i like how h1n1 deaths equal just slightly more than leprosy
