Some more interesting statements from the CDC

“There’s almost no seasonal flu so far,” he said. “We’ve seen a few strains here and there, but overwhelmingly H1N1 is the strain circulating and it continues to be very tightly matched with vaccine.”

“We know that the majority of hospitalizations from H1N1 are in people with asthma and we also know that half of people with asthma who get H1N1 do not seek medical attention,” Frieden said, referring to a telephone survey conducted by the CDC in which 50 percent of asthmatics said they did not seek medical attention for flu-like symptoms."
