Right this very minute, trillions of deadly Mexican Pig Flu microbes are just cold chillin' in nooks and crannies somewhere, waiting for the fall flu season, when they will emerge and strike nearly 100,000 Americans dead. Say scientists!
Here is what the President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology officially consider a "possibility," this fall:
- 20%-40% of the US population develops swine flu.
- Two million Americans hospitalized.
- 300,000 in intensive care.
- 90,000 dead, from swine flu.
