   @Infoseepage I am not sure on the reasons behind the apparent low number of severe cases (partly because the lack of transparency of US authorities, especially al local level). I think that genetic constellation of current viruses is not yet fully permissive of an effective systemic infection, that eventually drives to severe and fatal outcomes. N1 might play a role but current knowledge is limited. Past pandemics hinted at NA role in attenuation of infection, but no certainties.

     @Infoseepage Even the Dutch H7N7 outbreak had initially conjuctivitis cases, then a veterinary died of the infection and nearly a hundred of people caught the virus too. We are unable to predict the true outcome of a H5/H7/H9 flu pandemic despite intensive studies about the reconstructed 1918 H1N1 hypertoxic virus.

     @Infoseepage The trouble is that I do not see any sign from US authorities, now and especially in future, that a mandatory vaccination in poultry and farm workers will be implemented to reduce the overall viral load. So our direction is towards a flu pandemic.
