Pandemic flu remains moderate but strikes young–WHO
By Stephanie Nebehay
GENEVA (Reuters) – The H1N1 flu pandemic is moderate but infects and sometimes kills much younger people than traditional seasonal influenza, the World Health Organisation (WHO) said on Tuesday.
Comparing the number of deaths from the pandemic virus known as swine flu with those from seasonal influenza can be misleading, the U.N. agency said.
So… don’t be mislead by the “Pandemic” not being severe? And it will take a couple of years to evaluate?
“WHO continues to assess the impact of the influenza pandemic as moderate,” it said in a statement. “Accurate assessments of mortality and mortality rates will likely be possible only one to two years after the pandemic has peaked.”
