Information from New Zealand and New York City seems to show that 20 000-30 000 people are infected with this pandemic construct for each death.1 2 3
Approximately 3000 deaths have been confirmed,4 suggesting that between 60 million and 90 million people have already been infected by the 2009 H1N1 pandemic flu virus.
The 595 deaths5 in the United States equates to 12 million to 18 million infections in the US alone.
By any measure A/H1N1 is a benign flu virus. According to official statements, New Zealand, for example, usually has 400 deaths from flu each year. This year there were 17,2 so it could be argued that the pandemic has resulted in 383 lives being saved, which makes it more effective than any flu vaccine
