Thus far this is a relatively mild flu...and will remain so providing that it does not mutate...but it is at pandamic levels of people getting sick from it and the people dying from it is different than thoes that die from regular flu. H1N1 for reasons that are not understood is killing mostly healthy young children and mostly healthy people under fifty. Regular flu kills mostly unhealthy people with the majority being elderly.
Thus at this point that is the concern...as well as our hospitals being able to handle the 400,000 or so expected hospitalizations during this winters flu season.
