In a truly sad note this morning, Doug Murphy, co-owner of Moby Dick and, most recently, Blackbird, died Friday due to complications from the H1N1 virus, better known as swine flu. He was 41 years old, and was in Palm Springs at the time of his infection, and he had not been traveling abroad, according to business partner Shawn Vergara.
Yesterday, the White House announced that as many as 90,000 Americans could die this fall and winter from swine flu. Each year, nearly 40,000 people die from the regular flu.
