Taken from an April 29, 2009 article from the AP:
"....In all, the military has 305,424 confiscated weapons locked in vaults, just a fraction of those used by criminals in Mexico, where an offensive by drug cartels against the military has killed more than 10,750 people since December 2006. But each weapon is a clue to how the cartels are getting arms, and possibly to the traffickers that brought them here. ....". (estimates from law enforcement over 10,000 in one year. (2008-09)
If I recal right the Swine flue epidemic to date has killed less that a 300 world wide.
