The estimate is based on mathematical modelling. Nearly 28,000 US cases of the 
  virus have been reported to the CDC – some half of all those reported 
  globally.

The US figure includes 3,065 people who have been admitted to hospital, and 
  127 who have died. But the reported figure is considered to be only a 
  fraction of those who now have the virus. The forecast is also based on the 
  fact that up to 60 million Americans catch seasonal flu each year. CDC 
  statistics also show the young are particularly at risk. The average age of 
  swine flu patients is 12, the average age of those in hospital is 20, and 
  the average of those who have died is 37.
