Swine flu has killed 700 people globally, according to le Monde. Nearly 100,000 people have been infected, according to an estimation by the World Health Organization. France counts 628 infections, 6 of which were serious enough to require hospitalization.
Swine flu was terribly scary for a few days, but it quickly became apparent-- to me anyway-- that it was not the deadly virus everyone feared it to be. The statistics don't indicate a high hospitalization rate, even when you just compare it with the official number of infections.
