What's the difference between the Swine Flu and a normal flu?

And why's it such a big deal?

You guys are idiots. THE NORMAL FLU CAN KILL YOU TOO! THAT'S WHY IM CONFUSED.

1934 hundreds of people died because of the ordinary flu. What do you say to that?

it depends what kind of ordinary flu, swine flu is much worse because it attends to kill more people then a ordinary flu , swine flu has more guts to kill a person then a regular flu , swine flu will do more it is a big deal because your dealing with somthing serious swine flu has more then a regular flu so i say swine flu nothing new because this happened many years back and in mexico they thought it would go away but lazy mexico was wrong because they ignored the cause so barrak obama and others in this free country are trying to find ways to prevent it , schools are closing down and buissnesses too!!!

The swine flu outbreak of 2009 is caused by a mutated form of the swine influenza virus that can be transmitted through human contact. The H1N1 strain of swine influenza has been known to be transmitted to humans, and intimate contact like sneezing or kissing can transfer the virus between people. Like most forms of influenza, swine flu among humans is highly contagious. The person harboring the swine flu virus may be contagious for up to seven days from the onset of the illness.

Here are some common signs and symptoms of swine flu among human beings:

* High fever (above 37 degrees Celsius)
* Sore throat, sneezing, and a runny nose
* Coughing and other breathing difficulties
* Nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea
* Loss of appetite, drowsiness, and sleepiness.

I dont think there is any real differences besides that is is new and the only reason they are making a big deal out of it is because it is a new disease and they dont have that many details about it. And Cali said that the difference is that swine flu is deadly and the normal flu isnt that's wrong because thousands of people die from the normal flu each year!!!

the swine flu originated from pigs. first it infected pigs and now it is affecting humans. it is more deadly because we don't have a vaccine for it yet. there are different types of flus and this one is just a different type. supposedly scientists think it will kill 5 % of the human population world wide but no one knows for sure.
