From this article we learn that of those that died in Mexico:
11% died from complications.....heart disease
24% died from diabetes or obese, and
56% had the cytokine storm
Quotes from Anne Schuchat, interim deputy director for science and public health of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention:
“The good news so far is that the virulence markers for the 1918 and H5N1 influenza viruses do not appear in the H1N1 strain,”
“What we don’t know is whether there may be other virulence markers. Remember the first wave of the 1918 virus was mild and the next wave was devastating.”
“It’s too soon to say things are getting better. We’re still accelerating,”
Quotes from Sylvie Briand, acting director of WHO’s global influenza program:
"“We’re still trying to understand who are the high-risk groups for this disease,”
“The more we know about this disease, the more we’ll be able to have better control measures.”
