Wed, Apr 29, 2009 One-minute read

There are a few. Based on worldwide numbers (160 confirmed deaths, 3000 “suspected” cases)

  • Falling out of bed (900 confirmed deaths)
  • Falling down the stairs (1,690 confirmed deaths)
  • Big storm (874 confirmed deaths)
  • Drinking binge (346 confirmed deaths)

Of course, the statistic left out by the news

  • Normal flu (36,000 confirmed deaths per year)
