Update:
No one is talking about The Swine Flu (H1N1) any more. Remember that Billions of $$ were set aside for the catastrophe that never came. I want my money back! The flu affected about 7% of the American population at its peak, which is in fact more than the average yearly flu. However, the virulence of the disease was markedly less than the normal flu. Deaths and hospitalizations were also down, and the normal yearly flu didn't appear at all. Thankfully, the vaccine, though way late due to bureaucratic incompetence, has proven very effective and caused very few adverse reactions.
NOTE: I did finally get the vaccine at the end of November, unlike this kid who self-inoculated earlier last year!
