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.
