Whats difference between Swine Flu and common flu?
There are hundreds of different forms of flu. All of them kill some people. The reason for concern with swine flu is that it initially appeared that a higher than percentage of the people who caught it were dying of it. This is not something that can be proven until the WHO and other testing facilities have sufficient data from samples to form reliable statistics. Until they have enough information it is deemed sensible to keep people informed so that they aren’t putting themselves or others in unneccessary risk.
