87% of deaths and 71% of cases of severe pneumonia involved patients between the ages of 5 and 59 years, as compared with average rates of 17% and 32%, respectively, in that age group during the referent periods. Features of this epidemic were similar to those of past influenza pandemics in that circulation of the new influenza virus was associated with an off-season wave of disease affecting a younger population.

genetic-similarity study found that the 2009 A(H1N1) flu was derived from the combination of 4 separate strains of influenza, each circulating in swine populations, including an A(H1N1) strain that has been circulating in swine populations since around the time of the Spanish flu outbreak of 1918. In addition, genetic similarity between the strains isolated in Mexico and those isolated in the United States suggests that the 2009 swine flu was introduced into the human population as a single event and that the virus spread into the United States from Mexico on at least 5 separate occasions. Finally, the researchers determined that because of the length of time that classic swine A(H1N1) has been circulating in swine populations vs human seasonal A(H1N1), the antigenic profile of swine A(H1N1) has drifted sufficiently so that vaccines prepared for human A(H1N1) would have little or no efficacy...it isnt the same as yr "common" flu and it is not simple to treat .....

no dumbass, swine flu hasn't been killing "young healthy people". swine flu is almost equivalent to the regular flu, and it is very easily treatable. premier league players are so fit and healthy that they can brush it off within a week. the media overhyped the 'sars virus' and it's less deadly than the common cold. idiots.

swine flu is no more dangerous than normal flu and it's really only fatal to people with weak hearts and lungs. every disease is the next bubonic plague thanks to the media.
