that is a direct quote from CBS News, it didn't differentiate between strains, etc. ... I use Wikipedia a lot, too (but, ya gotta take their info with skepticism, sometimes) ... hard to believe ONE person died from that version of the flu, as it annually takes many tens of thousands of lives, EVERY year ... thousands of deaths from flu, is something that annually happens, but is just accepted, not heavily reported (I've never seen it broken down by strain) ... when ya get OLD, like 'some' of us , ya try to be aware of what's gonna do ya in ... guess it's one of those things we'll never really know, (or, know who to believe) ... :smokin:
