    500,000/500,000 = 1 x 6945343 = 6945343

    Carry the 4
    Subtract the one
    90 billion people will die of swine flu in Ireland.

    It's pretty easy to work out how many it will affect/how many will die. Just solve the following equation:

    [latex]\displaystyle\mbox{i}\hbar\frac{\partial}{\partial t}\Psi(r,\ t) = -\frac{\hbar^2}{\mbox{2m}}\nabla^2\Psi(r,\ t)\ +\ \mbox{V(r)}\Psi(r,\ t)[/latex]

    Hope that helps.
