Hi, Arnos78, I have tried to clarify the article Cornelius Vanderbilt as you suggested. Let me know if I've been successful or not. - Nunh-huh 01:27, 3 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Historical context Flu pandemic table[edit]

I have removed the '<200' claim for deaths from this table. I will explain why: The WHO 'confirmed deaths' figure is not an estimate of numbers to have died from swine flu. Not all deaths from swine flu will have been tested (hence not all will have been confirmed) and so this figure under counts the total deaths from swine flu. Furthermore with seasonal flu less than 10% of deaths caused by the flu are detected (5% by some estimates). The situation might be different here or it might not. So not only is this figure not actually intended as an estimate of the total deaths but it will inevitably under count those deaths (and could do so by more than 10 times).
