tejek has some good points, Ten. First, from what I've read, although the H1N1 flu often has minor symptoms at first, it can quickly escalate to serious and life-threatening impacts. It's death rate (deaths divided by total contractions) last time I looked was over 3 times the rate of the normal flu. In addition, H1N1 mutates at a faster rate and seems to be hopping species. Overall, H1N1 is a nasty piece of business.

Ted, > H1N1 is a major mutation...... Stop pretending to be an expert on this stuff ... you clearly have no idea WTF you are talking about. Let me put it this way.....I am well informed on the subject out of necessity. I do considerable reading and I consult with my cousin who consults with the CDC on a regular basis. Sorry that that annoys you. There is no such thing as "major vs. minor mutations." That's a fake distinction that suits Hollywood and the media types, but not actual scientists. And what makes you such an expert on flu mutations? I am curious.
