Not sure of the exact numbers. It is still unusual, to be sure, for it to kill a toddler, but the rates are higher for young children than they are for older people. Other, pre-existing conditions, especially asthma, can raise the mortality risk significantly."My nation is the world, and my religion is to do good." --Thomas Paine

It's only a brand new flu. How many could it kill? Hell, regular flu only kills many thousands every year.
I think Egypt has good intentions, without having a clue.
Egypt orders slaughter of all pigs over swine flu

Since I cited Egypt once, I guess it's appropriate to cite them again.
CAIRO — Egypt began slaughtering the roughly 300,000 pigs in the country Wednesday as a precaution against swine flu even though no cases have been reported here, infuriating farmers who blocked streets and stoned vehicles of Health Ministry workers who came to carry out the government's order.
You kind of blundered into that one, didn't you?Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the moments that take your breath away.

I don't know why he saved my life. Maybe in those last moments he loved life more than he ever had before. Not just his life - anybody's life, my life. All he'd wanted were the same answers the rest of us want. Where did I come from? Where am I going? How long have I got? All I could do was sit there and watch him die.

Egypt has a large Christian population (relatively speaking).
Flu almost killed me once, by making me so weak an asthma attack nearly took me out.Christianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...

I dislike it when people use it as a crutch.
I tried cutting you a lot of slack yesterday, and only grew irritated towards the end. It'll take at least that long, if not longer, to wipe that away. A simple 'sorry' is unsatisfactory.B♭3
