Comparing actual, recorded H1N1 deaths to estimated annual seasonal flu deaths is like comparing “the number of flu deaths with the number of Subarus sold in Canada.” (You gotta love mathematicians who give good quote.) The Canadian Press explains where the annual flu death estimates come from and why we probably won’t really know how bad H1N1 was until 2011. Pro tip: CP Reporter Helen Branswell is one of the best medical journalists out there. If you want to understand what’s going on with the Hiney Virus, read her work.
