I think a lot of swine flu stuff is blow out of proportion. I won't try to quote statistics or get all quoty on you, but the regular flu, year over year, takes a lot of lives worldwide. The focus that you see in the news are the cases where the worst things happen and you only see that because the "flu" has a "swine" prefix and is "extra scary" because its NEW!
Just like the regular flu, the young, old or those sick already are the most susceptible to seriously life threatening illness.
