How oodles ppl would typically die within a pandemic befor nearby is a cure?

And am I correct in saying that the last properly declared pandemic was back in the 1800s?? This swine flu sure is terrifying.. especially with kids..!
Answers:
It's flu, for Chrissake! There won't be a cure, but there's little reason to be worried about the kids. The death are from complications, and they're generally confined to people with co-morbidities. My kids are grown in a minute, but if they were still little, I'd look at the risks of the flu, look at the number of kids who go off their nut when taking Tamiflu, and not bestow the drug to the kids. The risk/benefit balance is somewhat different in, for example, the elderly diabetic with chronic lung disease. But there's no point to go into a full-fledged panic.
This, by the way, is not the first time swine flu have raised its ugly head. The previous key outbreak, not that many people died, but there be considerable cases of Guillain-Barre syndrome associated with the immunization. Let's hope that gets ironed out this time.
