Evening Yuhona - nice to see you here this evening.
Nancy - the 'ordinary' flu kills too, but the H1N1 strain (commonly called Swine flu) is a more virulent strain |

Hi nancy, the swine flue has the same symptoms as the seasonal flue and those who will be more affected by it are old people, kids and those with chronic conditions.
Drs cant diagnose within the first 24 hrs because of the common symptoms but those mentioned will be referred to hospital immediately. |

Eh?
The common flu absolutely does kill people and it always has. Swine flu is a less lethal strain.
The real concern is not that people will die, it is that a large portion of the population will be incapacitated simultaneously which would create all sorts of drama. |

In the transmission comparisons, the researchers found that the seasonal H1N1 virus transmitted quickly and completely by droplet transmission and direct contact among the ferrets. But the novel H1N1 viruses did not spread by droplets to all ferrets, and transmission was delayed by five or more days in two of six infected pairs.
This lack of efficient respiratory droplet transmission suggested that additional virus adaptation in mammals may be required to reach the highly contagious behaviours of seasonal H1N1 flu or the 1918 pandemic virus, the group wrote.
Terrence Tumpey, the study's author and senior microbiologist in the CDC's influenza division, said the study shows that the new virus is transmitting, but not quite as well as seasonal strains.
"Seasonal strains transmit like clockwork as soon as we push the cages together," he added.
"We think it (the new virus) could still make additional changes to become more transmissible," Dr Tumpey said. "We need to keep a close eye on the virus and monitor for changes." |

Nancy.
That's not my opinion, it's a statistical truth.
Swine flu is a concern because it is more virulent, not more lethal.
The info is out there if you care look. |
