It is real damn simple. We understand the normal flu types. They are predictable and very stable viruses. We also have vaccines for them. This was a fairly newly spread flu type, one that is not known. Which also means we have no idea if it will remain stable or further mutate.
If for instance it picked up same mortality rate as normal flu, though off season - it would then actually be killing more people than regular flu, due to lack of vaccine for the elderly, children, compromised immune systems etc.
Then again it does not take much of an issue to make most everyone go full on retard.

it's funny to see the *influenza kills 36,000/year* comments from the people just now getting that info. it would be impossible to explain to them the difference between a seasonal epidemic and a pandemic.
