A lot of the people who have died didn't die from the swine flu. Their immune reaction to the virus damages their lungs, and they then get bacterial pnuemonia.
My mom (a doctor) came down with swine flu 2 weeks ago, and is now being treated for pnuemonia. She's still hacking and coughing and has a hard time even walking across a room. It's a little scary, but I think they caught it quick enough (about a week after she got sick they started the antibiotics).
She suggested that if I do start getting symptoms I should take Tamiflu.
