And so, how do they know this? "Lyn Finelli, a flu surveillance official with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, made the one million estimate...The number is from mathematical modeling, based on surveys by health officials."
No need evidently to do it the old fashioned way, to actually count the number. No it is so much easier to make a model, throw in a few assumptions, and bingo, you have the number you want -- one million.
And just what is a 'flu surveillance official'? Would such a thing exist if big things weren't planned? Anyone want to bet that sometime this fall, the 'health officials' will discover that the swine flu has morphed into something much more dangerous? One can't say for sure that this is the planned scenario, but it looks ominously likely.
