Bill Maher, put this in your glass pipe and smoke it.

A total of 86 children have now died of H1N1 illness in the United States, according to the latest data from the CDC. Nearly half (47%) of the deaths were reported to the CDC after August 30th, and 11 of these deaths occurred during the last week. Among the most recent deaths (n = 43), 19 (44%) occurred in preteens or teenagers (12-17 years of age).

For all practical purposes, H1N1 activity is now widespread in the United States.
