Influenza - A Great Presentation from the CDC

August 30th Presentation by the CDC
---------------
There's a great powerpoint presentation from the CDC dated August 30, 2010.   It includes a discussion of the disease, the varying death rates (in years when H3N2 predominates there are 2.7 times more deaths than when H1N1 or Influenza B dominates).  There's a discussion of the recent Hutterite colony study showing that vaccinating children protects others. There's even an explanation of blood levels of antibodies.  You really don't need a medical or scientific background to understand the presentation.

A lot of great information.
