58. My bet on the H1N1, cases and mortality.

I bet 80-100 million people are going to come down with it in the US.

Yes, most cases will be mild. But even so, I'd say 150-200 thousand people are going to die of it. Which is a death rate of .15 percent. I don't see it being better than this, but I do see where it could get worse-- like with a bad mutation.

No, I don't have any expertise. That's just what I foresee, and if I had any money, I'd actually bet on it.
