Here is a link to the CDC weekly flu view for the last 3 years. http://www.cdc.gov/flu/weekly/

If you notice it. during October week 3 of last year there were 116 deaths.  this year there are 53.  Also the next graph below that one shows that there are less lab confirmed flu hospitalization rates this year in all age groups than last year or the years before. The only thing that this year has more of is outpatient Flu" LIKE" symptoms. which can also include post nasal drip, chest or sinus congestion, or respitory infections.

(CNN) -- More than 1,100 people worldwide have died from swine flu since it emerged in Mexico and the U.S. in April, according to the latest figures from the World Health Organization.

As of July 31, the total number of victims killed by the H1N1 virus, also known as swine flu, stood at 1,154 -- an increase of 338 since WHO's previous update on July 27.

Do we realize, there are between 250,000-500,000 deaths every year from the regular flu and 36,000 in the US alone. so far, we have hit 1,000. ( from AP )
