>What kind of underlying conditions do the folks that die, have?
I just had this forwarded to me today about H1N1, from a Dr. Mercola.

Curious what folks here think, especially if you are in the medical field.

Underlying Medical Conditions
Of the total hospitalized patients:
60% of children had underlying medical conditions
83% of adults had underlying medical conditions
They also found that 32% of patients had at least 2 medical conditions that would put them at risk. We are constantly told that it is the young adult aged 25 to 49 who is at the greatest risk. Note that 83% of these people had underlying medical conditions. This means that in truth only 292 “healthy” people out of 1082 in 24 states were sick enough to enter the hospital -- that is 292 healthy people out of tens of millions of people, not much of a risk if you do not have an underlying chronic medical problem.
