ATLANTA, Dec. 10 (UPI) -- In the United States, H1N1 flu has killed an estimated 10,000 -- including 1,100 children and 7,500 younger adults -- federal health officials said Thursday.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates about 15 percent of the country has been infected with H1N1 influenza -- about 1 in 6 people -- with nearly 50 million cases of H1N1 and nearly 200,000 hospitalizations -- much higher than in a usual flu season.
