If you look at the pandemic of 1977, when H1N1 or Swine Flu re-emerged after a 20 year absence, there is no shift in age-related mortality pattern. The 1977 “pandemic” is, of course, not considered a true pandemic by experts today, for reasons that are not entierely consistent. It certainly was an antigenic shift and not an antigenic drift. As far as I have been able to follow the current events, the most significant factor seems to have been that most people, who were severely affected, were people with other medical conditions.

My brother got infected with H1N1 or Swine Flu in Mexico. He got a mild fever and luckily he did not die.

One of my sisters got infected with H1N1 or more commonly known as Swine Flu. Fortunately, she did not have very high fever and she was able to recover fast .

I, too, thought this article was very well done. I think this site is wonderful.

For Magaret Studer, who posted the earlier comment, I wanted to suggest a method of research I have used successfully, regarding alternative healing therapies. If you go to the book section of Amazon.com, and enter “tea healing therapies,” or “medicinal use of green tea or white tea,” minus the quotation marks, there’s a good chance that you will find books and/or papers written by researchers or doctors working with tea on this level.

Best of luck to you.

Would you happen to know about any actual studies done on the anti-viral properties of tea. I’m looking all over the Internet for the actual studies to quote for an article. I see sites claiming that studies have shown green tea to have antiviral properties and white to have even more, but I can’t locate a single actual study, even the ones named in the other articles.

Nice work with this, by the way. Very well written and informative.
