And that wiki article noted deaths in Australia and Pacific: 211 deaths (As of the last 7 days). This is included in the total (6,255 worldwide confirmed as of the last week or so). So no, I do not believe this to be any deadlier than the normal strain... esp. considering that it has been around for 7 months, and only killed ~6,000 people. The normal seasonal flu is far worse... it has killed at least ~250,000 people in the last 12 months. For the swine flu to be considered as dangerous within the next 5 months... it would have to increase the mortality rates about 4000%.
In australia alone... it would have to increase mortality rates a good 1500% or so within a year of it having come out for it to be even equally comparable to the normal flu. Flus are bad any way you look at it... and nobody wants to be sick with it. But if you do get sick with it: you probably won't die of it.

Quote:I'm an older man in poor health; any kind of flu is life threatening for me. When adults choose not to be vaccinated,catch whatever disease it may be,and die, we are seeing evolution in action,as nature weeds out the stupid.Or we see nature killing those with asthma, diabetes, etc. It can also kill perfectly healthy and intelligent people (like say me) who decided to let those who were more likely to need it get vaccinated first
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
