Sorry to intrude

Any flu conversation needs to emphasize "Wash Your Hands!"

Be careful about the 6% case fatality rate. Right now, there is some dispute about data coming out of Mexico. I know of some cases that were initially attributed to swine flu that later have been found to be due to other causes.

Key elements of this flu seem to be a rapid onset of high fever along with GI symptoms (in addition to the regular flu-like symptoms).
