How many are on respiratory machines in hospitals due to h1n1?


Best answer:

Answer by Foster
New England Journal of Medicine published this California study: between April and August 1088 people in Cali were diagnosed and hospitalized with h1n1. A third of these people required intensive care, but I don't know how many needed their airways artifically supported with anything.

According to this same article, about 1 in 10 elderly persons with h1n1 will die from it or its complications. That's a pretty big deal that deserves the media attention!
