This guy is quick to claim no H1N1 influenza deaths. The ministry of health and prime minister need to make an example of this leader for these types of comments when it comes to the nomadic Bedouins. this is about as far north as one can go and runs up to the port of sallum i would be shocked if they dont have any cases of h1n1 being its a port area on the coast line.

With 120 confirmed deaths, Egypt now has a death rate of 1.58 per million inhabitants

North Sinai (as of 1 January 2009) has a population of 363,500

If the governorate follows national trend, H1N1 deaths should be imminent
