1 - its dude. Gee, only in english can Trantor sound like a girls username... imho, its sounds completely male. And if you knew that Trantor is an ecumenopolis world (world completely covered by city) from Isaac Asimov books, you would find it easier to guess I am a dude.
2 - I never said H1N1 disappeared or that it is not a pandemic. I said it disappeared from the news around here since we arrived at spring, end of flu season. I am well aware that now its NORTHERN HEMISPHERE flu season, and may/june next year it will start all over again here.
3 - it was simply an answer to however might think that there is something wrong with southern hemisphere health systems. My post tried to prove that its just a question of how cold it gets, since the poorer brazilian states, with worse healthcare were the ones less affected by the flu (they are also the warmest ones, they basically dont have a winter).
The time that H1N1 started spreading outside Mexico was the beginning of winter in the southern hemisphere, beginning of summer in the northern hemisphere.
