H1N1 virus' death toll as high as 17,000, CDC estimates

This weeks article is about how the H1N1 flu, or swine flu, may kill as many as 17,000 Americans according to the Centers of Disease Prevention (CDC) in Atlanta. They have confirmed that 2,498 confirmed deaths between January 30 the agency estimates that 8, 330 and 17, 160 people actually died from the flu. The majority of people who died between 6,390 and 13, 170 were 18 to 64 years old. But, between 880 and 1,180 children 17 years old and younger also died from the flu. In comparison, the CDC says that in regular flu season, with 90 percent of the deaths usually occur in people from 65 and older.
Our opinion is that this disease can affect us the same way as it affected the people who died so we truly believe that there needs to be an efficient solution to this sickness. We are afraid that if we get the disease we will die and that way of thinking really affects our daily life because we are afraid of every sickness even a single flu. It affect us because this sickness is common in this times so we can get sick. We really hope a better solution is created so that we don't worry in the future.
There are no bias.
