Despite reports in the US press of the flu going away, the H1N1 flu, the swine flu is scheduled to come back hard sometime between October and December. Meanwhile, over 30 people in New York City have died from this flu, and an estimated 1 million Americans have been infected. Harlem and the Bronx, NY, you better beware.
A good place to watch is the Southern Hemisphere, where the first day of winter just occurred. There 11 more people died in Argentina over a 48-hour period, bringing the total deaths from H1N1 to 21. In Chile, death number 8 was just announced—a 22-year-old dental student.
The danger is compounded by years of neglect of public health in the United States and countries around the world. Globalization and slave labor free trade have meant the gutting of living standards around the world.
