How much worse is the swine flu than the regular seasonal flu?
Do you know where I can find statistics on how many people die from regular flu so I can compare it to how many die with swine flu. What are the dangers of both and how are the different from eachother. This is all for an argument I’m having with someone that thinks swine flu is extremely worse than regular flu. I think the media over played it. Thanks for any answers.

The H1N1 flu is not much worse than the seasonal flu, if not, the same. You are correct, the media did “over-play” it.
