Via Angus Reid, a Canadian polling organization: Canadians More Satisfied with Government on H1N1. Excerpt:
People in Canada are now less critical of the government’s handling of the H1N1 pandemic, according to a poll by Angus Reid Public Opinion.
45 per cent of respondents are content with the federal government’s preparedness for the Swine Flu outbreak, up 13 points since early November. Additionally, 44 per cent of Canadians are satisfied with the performance of their provincial government regarding the flu pandemic, up eight points since early November.
In April, Mexico was greatly affected by an outbreak of H1N1 influenza, also referred to as Swine Flu. In early June, as the virus spread throughout the globe, the World Health Organization (WHO) classified the outbreak as a pandemic, while also noting that most illnesses reported were of “moderate severity.”
So far, at least 250 people have died in Canada as a result of the H1N1 outbreak.
