Belgium: 7 Deaths Per Day Next Month?

[This is the second article, saying "twice as many as seasonal influenza".]

From a previous article out of Australia:
Posted: 02 July 2009

Professor Robert Booy, an immunisation specialist at the Westmead Children's Hospital in Sydney, said the H1N1 flu was likely to kill twice as many children over the next 12 months as regular influenza.

Booy estimated 10 to 12 children could die from the virus, compared with five or six from regular influenza in a typical year, and said not all of those killed would have underlying medical conditions.

In Belgium will end next month, by day six or seven people to death the Mexican flu and 15,000 people are daily infected with the virus. This prediction was virologists Marc Van Ranst Saturday for the Flemish public broadcaster VRT. He base itself on British figures.

At this moment, in Belgium 51 people infected with the Mexican flu. Van Ranst, professor in Leuven and flu expert from the Belgian government, thinks the number of new cases will soon rise because many people during their holidays abroad in contact with the virus.

He is soon impossible to anyone who gets infected, too, treatment with antiviral agents. Only patients who really need these medicines still used to get. The rest just uitzieken, as with an ordinary flu. In die each year some 1500 Belgians to ordinary flu, or four per day.
