- that actually does not nullify what I said at all. -- nm - loosilu Nov 5, 10:37 11
  - okay sorry, but you have to pick a side here. on B2 you said the CDC "flat out stated", now it's "Inside line -- nm - Andie Nov 5, 10:40 9
    - (SFEK) and, if H1N1 is 'just as deadly but affecting different people" that does not make it "deadlier." - Andie Nov 5, 10:41 8
      - you're right. It appears they have not stated it publicly. - loosilu Nov 5, 10:43 7
        
        "rate is largely unknown" and "seems to be higher" don't make sense to me. -- nm - Max Nov 5, 10:46 5
        
        it currently appears to be higher. They don't (and can't) know for sure. -- nm - loosilu Nov 5, 10:47 4
        
        If it appeared, they'd be observing it, so wouldn't they know? And if they don't and can't know, it's it poor practice to run around saying - Max Nov 5, 10:50 3
        
        it's called "monitoring," and I admitted I was wrong about ten minutes ago. - loosilu Nov 5, 10:51 2
        
        pet peeve. standing request: please do not spread information that isn't publicly available or based on sources, especially regarding health issues. - Max Nov 5, 10:58 1
        
        fair enough, and yes it is. I honestly didn't realize. -- nm - loosilu Nov 5, 10:58

THis is a pretty good link saying that the CFR is at least .015%, whereas seasonal flu is .01%. -- (link) - loosilu Nov 5, 10:34 7
- what is the date on that article? -- nm - Andie Nov 5, 10:38 6
  - can't find it. however, as I said, the current inside line (from epidemiologists) is that the CFR is higher. -- nm - loosilu Nov 5, 10:39 5
    - That article says that as of the end of April. I'll go with any of Andie's links. - Jim Nov 5, 10:40 4
      - right now even the CDC doesn't know for sure. I'm just saying the last I heard. -- nm - loosilu Nov 5, 10:44 3
        
        But I thought "They have flat out said it is deadlier"? -- nm - Shaun Nov 5, 10:46 2
        
        it's been such a long time since we had a parade. *wipes tear* -- nm - loosilu Nov 5, 10:49 1
        
        Stop it. No one got personal here. And this isn't about you. You jumped out with an absolute statement that - Jim Nov 5, 10:55
