H1N1

Patrick

Although there have been no H1N1 deaths in the past two weeks in Malaysia, the death toll has reached 77. In the last two weeks there have been 726 cases of influenza type flu admitted to local hospitals, 75 cases were H1N1.

There may be some people in class that say that this "is not that bad" and they may be correct. 77 deaths does seem quite a small insignificant number. However, 77 lives is still 77 lives and, in two weeks, there have been another 75 confirmed cases of H1N1. Is this a positive or negative reflection on our health care system?
