CDC: US Has Over One Million Swine Flu (H1N1) Cases

Seems there's bad news and good news about H1N1 (Swine Flu). 

The bad news: there are probably over one million cases of H1N1 in the United States of America.

The good news: this high infection rate means the virus' death rate is very low.  There have only been 127 H1N1-related deaths in the US.

Kinda scary, isn't it? Fortunately, for most healthy people the severity of the disease isn't much worse than the normal seasonal flu. The seasonal flu kills many thousands of people a year... like h1n1, mainly the very young and elderly.
