Utah swine-flu deaths at 14
Four more Utahns have died during the past week after contracting the novel H1N1 flu virus, despite the fact that flu-like illness rates in the state have been dropping. And though Utah has ranked high per capita in the number of H1N1 cases reported by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in recent weeks, the numbers don't reflect the true pervasiveness of the illness either locally or nationally.

Would you take the same stance if it was the "regular" flu? How about if it is chicken pox? |
Actually, the death rate for this round of swine flu is down to about .5% (one-half of one percent). That's not as bad as the WHO would have us believe. Most of the folks who have died were already compromised health-wise (not all, but most).
