A study showing that 1 in 10 New Yorkers was infected with swine flu earlier this year will be released this week. (Of that group, 47 died.) The estimate comes in advance of a press conference tomorrow from Mayor Bloomberg which will outline the city's plans to deal with the expected fall outbreak. Details are scarce, but some sources suggest that the Mayor will announce that pieces from the voluminous collection of brochures he has sent out to every city resident in support of his re-election campaign can be easily manipulated to serve as surgical masks.

4 legs bad, yall.
...and this little piggy infected one tenth of the largest city in the United States...
My wife had it. She was sick for two days. It was pretty mild, as far as the flu goes. I appear to be immune, as is apparently 90% of the population. But hey, let's all flip-the-fuck-out about it...again.
Swine Flu took the whole summer off? I'm in the wrong line of work.
"Swine flu killed 47 New Yorkers in the spring - less than 1% of those infected."
No shit it's less than 1% of those infected. 1% would be 8,000 deaths. Good job, Daily News.
