[Caution]

Lmao I read something about that as well saying the governments telling parents not to.

Bearing in mind that 150,000 people die a year due to regula influenza, but that's still quite worrying.

is that just for the UK or world wide?

[Wahey]

Worldwide ofcourse or Europe

I was thinking that was a crazy number for UK

[Wahey]

Near enough 1/10 would be dead lol

I had swine flu a couple of weeks ago after my school came down with it, personally I think everything has been blown out of proportion and it is nothing to worry about. Hundreds of thousands of people die from normal Flu every year, this is no different, surely? When I had it, I took the Tamiflu medicine and was better within 5 days.

Whilst its sad that these 2 people have died, I dont see it as any reason to start panicing.

Shall we start reporting every death of Flu to the media? No, didnt think so :p

No but the normal flu isn't predicted to spread 100,000 a day, in JUST the UK. Not counting worldwide.
The NHS said they already can't handle the situation, so this wouldn't help other people in Hospitals with other stuff than Swine Flu.

Also the Swine Flu gives you a high risk of developing viral pneumonia. It can weaken your immune system so you could die of the simplest of bacteria. Also eruptioning cells in the lungs causing serious breathing and another I forgot.

Post mortem says doctor died of natural causes, not swine flu.
