It responds to antivirals. Since you're white and live in a rich nation, if you got the flu, the odds of you (or anyone who's white and lives in a rich nation) dying are extremely low.

Swine flu's score for this year so far is 7 deaths worldwide, according to the world health organization, with verification on an eighth (the first US death) still pending. Maradon! fucked around with this message on 04-30-2009 at 03:09 PM.

I'm willing to bet another pizza that the swine flu doesn't amount to more deaths annually than the regular flu, which claims about 30,000 worldwide.Swine flu's score for this year so far is 7 deaths worldwide, according to the world health organization, with verification on an eighth (the first US death) still pending.
Actually, it's 30,000 in the US, and about 250,000 - 500,000 in an average year. And this strain is so far responding well to two of the most widely available flu antivirals, and I understand that a vaccine could be available in as few as three months, due to several new methods for more rapidly growing the virus.

Jesus christ the original flavor flu kills a lot of people.
Well, it kills a lot of young, old, and immunocompromised individuals, mainly through secondary infections like bacterial pneumonia. It does also kill some young, healthy people, but those deaths are generally the anomaly. Assuming that the flu shot you get is correctly adjusted, however, most people generally have a very good shot of avoiding the flu nowadays.

The flu shot lowers your chance of infection by less than 5%.

Yea, it only really helps when you get the flu... lessens symptoms and duration, I believe?

In the study I read ("Cochrane Collaboration": combination of 25 clinical trials over 30 years) the flu vaccine didn't decrease the number of days individuals took off from work at all.
Some specific results:
"6% fewer vaccinated people got the flu, compared to the unvaccinated people"
"The influenza vaccine did not reduce the number of working days lost, nor did it reduce flu-related complications, deaths or hospitalizations."

I'm willing to bet you that the swine flu will kill more otherwise healthy adults of age 20 to 35 than the regular flu does worldwide.

Going by this method, we should see a new strain of Mad-Cow disease, followed by Rabbit Fever, Serpent Plague, and Lamb Rash.
We're so fucked if it somehow skips back a year and we've got to deal with a dragon-based disease.
