Remember the scary H1N1 report from the President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology, published here on whitehouse.gov?
It forecast
- infection of 30–50% of the U.S. population this fall and winter
- as many as 1.8 million U.S. hospital admissions during the epidemic, with up to 300,000 patients requiring care in intensive care units (ICUs)
- between 30,000 and 90,000 deaths in the United States, concentrated among children and young adults
This grim scenario was forecast to peak in “mid-October”.
So… where are the bodies? Are they burying them in mass graves in Area 51?
Note to President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology: keep John Holdren away from the liquor cabinet.
