CNN Political Ticker: All politics, all the time Blog Archive - Biden’s flu advice: Avoid ‘confined places’ - Blogs from CNN.com
Biden said;
"I would tell members of my family, and I have, I wouldn't go anywhere in confined places now. It's not that you're going to Mexico, it's you're in a confined aircraft. When one person sneezes it goes all the way through the aircraft. That's me.
"I would not be, at this point, if they had another way of transportation, (be) suggesting they ride the subway. … So from my perspective, what it relates to is mitigation. If you're out in the middle of a field and someone sneezes, that's one thing, if you're in a closed aircraft or closed container or closed car or closed classroom it's a different thing." |

In 2008 between 250,000-500,000 people died from Influenza. How many died from Swine flu?
