I don’t know why you claim that ‘nobody’ has ever had swine flu before now. It was the predominant form of flu until sometime in the 1950’s. I probably had it when I was a baby.

I know there was a swine flu outbreak before .

But that swine flu outbreak didn't have these mixed-up genes .

The current virus mixes an existing triple combination of human, avian and swine influenza identified in 1998 with two new swine virus genes from Asia and Europe, both of human origin.

This swine flu has a new gene combination that hasn't been seen before ....

The doctor that commented in the below article from the Chief Doctor again say’s why H1N1 is different then the seasonal flu . Young healthy people don’t die from the seasonal flu .

The doctor has never seen anything like the healthy people who have died from H1N1 EVER in all her many year’s of practice .

I have read many stories of doctors who have had unprecedented numbers of very sick people .

But I Should believe you over the report's that my best friend who is a nurse tell’s me ?

I will believe my friend who is dealing with H1N1 in her hospital .

How many H1N1 Cases have you dealt with ????????????

She recently had a 28-year-old male patient die from H1N1 complications.

It reminds her again what makes the H1N1 virus so different from the seasonal flu, even though it has similar mortality and hospitalization rates: Unlike the typical flu that puts the elderly and the already sick at greatest risk, it’s young, and healthy people who seem to be dying from this.

“A 28-year old male who is otherwise healthy, with no underlying conditions, is really striking,” Napolitano said.
