Mild so far and attenuates in the countries outside of mexico BUT virusses mutate all the time, and for the survival it maybe will mutate and suddenly it will be extremely dangerous. But, if it would be too quickly fatal, it hasn't sufficient time for find the next host, therefore the virus find the better level of hosts' fatality for its own survival. This potentially extremely frightening in my opinion, but maybe after some months after some mutations. The Type A influenzas include many, *extremely* many possible ones.
Yes!!!!! EXACTLY it was BIRD flu. Most of birds' flu has to find a mammal host (swines) before it can be in the humans, although in the last decades this isn't anymore the case, it can go directly to the human. This flu, A/H1N1-2009 (I thnk that they call it this now, which is a very good name) is a combination bird-swine-human flu. The humans' immune systems don't have the recognition or therefore capacity for immunity against the swine/bird elements. Also: this flu, A/H1N1-2009 they did NOT find in the swines. Swine Flu was truly a stupid, ignorant and incorrect name. It's possible the transfer at humans was by flies, birds, they don't know becase in the pigs' farm they didn't find an animal with the virus (possibly this is a lie and the company had destroyed those ill ones). The Asian Flu was a pandemic, (and worse, I agree) *but* this isn't pandemic until now: BUT, there's the possibility. It depend of the mutations now. We will know in 2011 if it were a pandemic or not. It's important they make a vaccine. Tamiflu is not much help, but propaganda. Much of the news now also, but it's better the people are prudent.

Maybe you're fortunate: your body has made some immunity, therfore *if* the virus will mutate and it will be a pandemic, when the A/H1N1-2009 is worse, you wouldn't die. Like after a vaccine when if you contract the infection you suffer a mild version. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

If biology, immunology, etc..isn't interesting for you, don't visit this thread. it isn't a forum rule that you have to find only languages interesting or have to read all the threads. You're quite an annoying person. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Yes, the authorities here keep warning that the continuing mutation of the virus make it a dangerous assumption that it will continue to be mild. In the 1918 pandemic, avian again, their was a mild outbreak in the spring at the end of the flu season, but then it came roaring back in the fall as a killer flu. If this malady visits our British friend's community, I doubt he'll find the topic boring. Meanwhile, I second your advice to him - just don't click... Edit: BTW, the age range of the two confirmed and ten suspected cases here is from ten years old to thirty. It is the same pattern as the 1918 pandemic...

I agree completely. (And, 1918 was also H1N1). 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

It's now being called 'influenza humana' in Mexico for all the bird/swine enthusiasts.
