Yeah Yeah Yeah and Bird Flu is coming next Thursday!!

Could it be bad yes, but any flu could turn bad...

All of the American cases and many of the mexican are so far the same type of flu strain as swine flu. They're waiting to determine if it actually is swine flu. Time will tell what we actually have here.

Looks like it's already made it to the NY area.

Two things make this worse than the usual flu:

1. It is spread human to human, unlike the bird flu.

2. The people that have died from it are young adults. It's not the actual flu that is killing them but the intense reaction of their immune systems. These are the attributes of the 1918 pandemic that killed 20 to 100 million people.
