CDC: 100,000+ in U.S. Have Flu, Half Have Swine Flu WebMD Health News
As Swine Flu Spreads, Flu Cases 'Widespread' or 'Regional' in 22 States
May 15, 2009 -- More than 100,000 Americans probably have the flu -- and at least half of these cases are H1N1 swine flu, a CDC expert estimates.
The comment came from Daniel Jernigan, MD, PhD, deputy director of the CDC's influenza division, during a news conference.
Jernigan noted that the 4,700 confirmed or probable cases of swine flu reported to CDC represent a gross underestimate.
The CDC's most recent data, for the week ending May 9, shows that about half of Americans with confirmed flu had the H1N1 swine flu. If Jernigan's off-the-cuff estimate is correct, more than 50,000 people in the U.S. have the new flu.
"At this point, we're not seeing the seriousness of illness in the United States that was initially reported in Mexico, but this certainly does not mean that the outbreak is over," Jernigan said. "The H1N1 virus is not going away. We know that the outbreak is not localized but is spreading and appears to be expanding throughout the United States.

4700 cases or 50,000? Which is it? The answer is simple. The power of suggestion. Just another method to confuse John Q. Public and plant seeds of fear. compare: Pediatricians Charge China With Hiding Bird Flu, Claim Nightmare 'Soon...Upon Us' 2-12-09

Another thing that is "not going away"? Globalization and all that it entails. This will definitely include an absolutely authoritarian system of government. The measures being implemented across the globe to deal with the so called 'swine flu' are in effect training people everywhere to submit to this authoritarian system and the consequent further erosion of freedoms.
Just a coincidence?
The days are upon us and there's much more to come...'they' are telling us so right up front. Stay tuned!
