Today on my way to work I passed a line of people waiting for the H1N1 vaccine.
It was at least 4 blocks long.
After the overhyping of SARS (and every flu-season since then) I am inclined to disbelieve the media about health news. While I know H1N1 is particularly brutal in that it is more likely to take out children and people in their prime rather than the elderly, it is still unclear to me where in the risk matrix the swine flu actually falls.
Thoughts? Useful cites?
