While 7826 people died around the world from swine flu, 35000 died from seasonal flu in USA

The flu scare continues unabated while the swine flu itself is statistically insignificant.

Last week 1,000 around the world died of swine flu. Jump in number of global swine flu deaths

That would be about the same number of people who died of flu in the United States. The US represents less than 5% of world population.
