Why Is Swine Flu So Widespread In Canada, The Us And The Uk Compared To Mainland Europe?
2009 October 21
There are so few cases in France, Germany and even Spain compared to the US, UK and Canada. Do mainland European countries have different definitions of when people have contracted swine flu? Or do they just have better healthcare/hygiene? It seems like English-speaking countries are the worst hit.

Well gee, maybe it’s because it started in Mexico and Canada and the US are on the same continent as Mexico? As for other countries, maybe they just aren’t as open about reporting the numbers as Canada, the US, and UK.
H1N1 isn’t actually that big of a deal. The media blew it way out of proportion. Far more people die every year from regular, seasonal influenza.
45 people have died in Canada from H1N1. Anywhere between 4000-8000 Canadians die ANUALLY from the regular flu and its complications.
Worldwise just over 700 people have died from H1N1. Anywhere between 250,000-500,000 people worldwide die ANUALLY from the regular flu.
I just want to get people aware of this swine flu more and more and take precautions accordingly. Oh man this has killed so many people.

Probably cause we’re in the same continent but swine flu isn’t that big of a problem now unless someone dies.
