It's actually pretty simple. Run-of-the-mill flu consists of Influenza A, B & C. Of those three types, there are a slew of mutations occurring in a given year, resulting iin many different strains of A, B & C kicking ass around the US at any give time. So effectively, you're lining up 150 defenders against my 11 players on offense and then talking shit because I'm not scoring enough points.Mr T wrote:If flu is supposedly dormant during that time, then how come the average run of the mill flu killed thousands while swine didnt even get a K.OCmike wrote:The majority of those 849 ticket-punches took place during spring and summer when flu is supposed to be effectively dormant.
In all seriousness, based on what I've seen at work, they're treating '09 as they do any other "bad" flu year here, and they have a very prestigious Infectious Disease dept.
