I don't see how he could say that H1N1 hasn't caused significant illness. Over the last few weeks my ENTIRE TEAM has been out with the flu, unlike ANYTHING I have seen in my entire working life. I've seen the seasonal flu go around and had a person out here and there for a day or two, but this was ALL my staff, at the same time, for extended periods. The one co-worker with asthma was out two weeks and went to emergency twice because of difficulty breathing. And as I said before, I don't think the flu was limited to my office place. I'm sure this was mirrored in many other places.
I think it insensitive to those that have been suffering through this to call it a 'dud'. Even though I got through it rather quickly, I'm non-plussed with it being called a 'dud'. Until a friend of Bagor ends up going to the hospital twice because she is near passing out because she can't breath, I'm sure he will continue to call this a 'dud'.
