there’s no vaccine to either. people die from both. not everyone who has gotten swine flu has died. most people who have died from the disease lived in impoverished areas, were very young or very old and their bodies weren’t strong enough to fight off the disease, didn’t have enough money to take care of themselves properly, or had poor hygiene. Is there really much of a difference between the swine flu and the regular flu? Are people worrying too much over the swine flu?

What is the difference between swine flu and the regular flu?

I was just wondering how is the swine flu different from a regular flu. Its a type of flu so how is it deadly.

Seasonal Flu (regular flu) infects millions of people every year. It’s fair to say it’s a common ailment, just like a cold.
Regular flu also kills thousands of people each year. . .
Of all the swine flu cases I heard about, most people are getting better, just like with a regular flu.
Of course if you’re elderly or a newborn or an immunodeficient person, well, the flu might be harder to treat and may kill you, but that’s not news!
Are we panicking over nothing?
