Abstract
Welcome to Public Health Moment from the University of Minnesota. For weeks, scientific debate has focused on the publication of two studies that document the lab creation of H1N1 virus, or bird flu.

But Nick Kelley, a researcher with the University of Minnesota Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy, says that part of the debate misses the point. <Kelley: “ Kelley added that the case-fatality rate of the 1918 pandemic was about 2 percent.
