Kilt. Yes, the last wave was bad and infected almost as many patients as the previous four, BUT I believe that we are in lull between waves, with just one or two case reported each time. So we will have to see if the next wave is THE ONE or not.

This one has me more worried than in past years. The way H7N9 ramped up both the numbers of cases and it's ability to infect/kill in one flu season has me wondering if that wasn't a precursor to something much bigger. I hesitate to say first wave, but it looked a lot like a virus getting itself set for a dramatic entrance on the world stage.
