Despite having 2 deaths due to Swine flu of apparently healthy
individuals, Thai Minister of Health deemed Swine Flu less dangerous
than normal flu because normal flu will kill 30% of patients.
Avian flu and Sars BOTH kill about 60%. Which flu kills about 30%?
Not even Spanish flu can kill 30%, only about 5%.
One self appointed expert in scm even deemed that normal flu routinely
kills people older than 2 and younger than 60.
I have yet to see any evidence of it yet.
