Re: California DoH Reports 128 Deaths - FT Total 146

That would be 6 more deaths than Australia which is currently experiencing its winter flu season. I only mention this because California's population is very close (36 million) to Australia's population (21 million). I wonder if this is indicative of a similar attack rate in both places.
