Comment Re:Spread the FUD (Score 1) 374
I would ask whether the people with swine flu simply died before they had a chance to have secondary issues. If the 'old' flu couldn't kill on its own yet the newer flu can, and very efficiently, and is spreading rapidly, then I'd have to say that I would be worried.
Mind you, I'm *not* actually worried about it as far as I go; I'm 27 and healthy. However, I do know quite a few elderly people and very young people and they are close to me. That is why I follow this story. There are a ton of posts here on
I realize that this is just a new strain of flu, and not some killer ebola; however, afaik no one has been vaccinated for it at least around my area. And we are just about to enter the 'real' flu season where things will get more interesting.
