swine flu hit 57 million americans

The dreaded H1N1 swine flu virus hit 57 million americans. It killed 11,700 persons. We got lucky this time, and dodge the bullet, but next time our luck may run out. The 1919 spanish flu epidemic killed 500,000 people in US region and over 50 million globally. If the mexican swine flu had been more virulent then perhaps we would have seen many millions die right here in america.
