Death rate statistics

I would debate the ability of this one study (reference 5 of the main article) to accurately assess death rates. In particular at the more severe end of the spectrum the number of cases are too low. Does anyone know a good meta-review? Furthermore the statistics quoted on the wiki page differ from those in the article referenced. Or were you trying to make a different point with the comparison? If so do you have a reference for the statistics you have? I was given higher death rates in my lectures but do not have a reference (maybe we're not so good at treating pneumonia in the UK!) 129.67.121.220 (talk) 20:40, 17 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
