H1N1 swine flu is far different than H1N1 human flu.
This flu, if epidemiological reports are accurate, is unique in that it is comprised of a mix of 2 different swine flu strains, 1 avian (bird) flu strain, and 1 human flu strain.
This is relatively rare in the world of influenza, and extremely similar to the 1918 Spanish Influenza, which is apparently why WHO, CDC and other scientists are even more concerned (reportedly) than they're even letting on publicly.
This is also apparently why young human victims have such a tremendous immune response to the virus, as their body is overwhelmed and in reaction produces buku antibody killer cells at a rapid clip, which essentially causes their lungs to become overwhelmed and inundated with split and bursted virii , essentially suffocating them.
Seasonal influenza claims more victims than this has so far, but it mainly targets the very young, very old and immune-compromised, and this H1N1 'Swine' Flu has apparently just begun...
