I understand Canada experienced deaths related to the H1N1 Flu Virus. Does this mean the virus increased in severity throughout the outbreak?
There is no evidence to suggest that the virus became stronger or more virulent. It is important to realize that different strains of influenza result in about 2,000 to 8,000 Canadian deaths a year. We must take all influenza – not just the current strain – seriously, and take measures to protect ourselves.
