South Korea's health authorities Tuesday reported two more deaths from the H1N1 virus infection, bringing the nation's flu death toll to 20.
A two-year-old girl and a 66-year-old man have died after being infected with the type-A influenza, according to the Ministry for Health, Welfare and Family Affairs.
Both were categorized as "highly vulnerable" patients to the contagious virus due to their chronic diseases. The baby had suffered cyanosis while the man had been treated for kidney cancer, according to Yonhap News Agency.
Since the swine flu pandemic was first reported in South Korea in May, the H1N1 virus has claimed the lives of 20 South Koreans. Most of them were categorized as highly vulnerable patients who were either elderly or suffering from chronic diseases.
The government is scurrying to stockpile antiviral drugs and vaccines for fear the flu may spread more widely in the autumn, with a plan to vaccinate 27 percent of its 49 million people by February next year.

Anyway Thiessen, this is just another topic to put on the agenda for our meeting in Seoul on Sunday at 1:00 PM. You will have the chance to show us you have the courage of your convictions, and the courage to say all of these things to my face. 1:00 Sunday on the sidewalk in front of the Millennium Seoul Hilton. Be a man for a change and show up.

Don't worry about the moron Thiesen. He loves to spew hate and then accuse other of hatred. He is actually the only person here that needs to be pitied, but I just don't care enough about what happens to scum like him to waste my pity on him.
