I really would LOVE to know how many deathes are UNINSURED...

it has been so poorly mishandled...bless you for blogging it and trying to track it...

( no vaccine here yet- they kept saying it would be here and free..and then only for healthcare workers...but nada)

We've had some here, but much less than promised & now the regular flu shot is in short supply because people would rather have something than nothing.

I don;t know why the media is saying "Over 1000 deaths" now.... because that would be in the last few MONTHS.

The CDC page itself lists 2827 deaths.....

so what is up w the latest news announcement???
