All the US cases have been mild. The only death reported today was a 23-month child in Texas who was infected in Mexico.
So far the death rate is about 6% in Mexico, which is not different from other strains of influenza. And within 6 months we will almost certainly have a vaccine.
There is absolutely no need to panic.

At the moment, we don't know why the US cases are so much milder than the cases in Mexico. It is possible that the circulating strains are slightly different.
There are other factors that suggest the flu would not be nearly as problematic in the US: 1) the weather is already turning warm, making the condition less favorable for mass transmission, 2) Mexico City is very dense with 20 million residents, including 5 million per day in the subway system, while in the US especially California the population density is vastly lower.
At this moment, I don't think the risk of dying of swine flu is any more than dying of, say, car accidents or falling off the roof or drowning.
CDC recommends people avoid crowds and wash hands with soap and water frequently. If you have flu-like symptoms, see a doctor or go to ER immediately. The swine flu can be cured with a couple of antiviral drugs if caught early (first 48 to 72 hours).
36000 people die of "usual" influenza every year in the US. Hopefully more people will get vaccinated this winter.

That is another mystery of the different US--Mexico infection patterns. The cases in Mexico have been concentrated in adults 20 to 50 years, but the US cases are a lot of school children.
The severe cases and deaths in Mexican adult patients involve "cytokine storm". This is sort of like SARS. The flu virus provokes overreaction of the host immune system, which floods the lungs with fluid and causes potentially fatal pneumonia.
Children are at higher risk of transmission because schools can be a hotbed for transmission. Children have a lot of direct contact with each other than adults. In turn, parents are more likely to contract the infection from their school-age children. So it's probably a good idea to wash the kids' hands with soap and water or use hand sanitizer frequently.
Although viruses can be airborne, the more likely medium is through touch of contaminated surfaces.

这次的猪流感各方面都让人想起上世纪二十年代的全球大流感，所以大家很害怕。那一次死了上千万人哪，也是死者主要是青壮年。
我好象在哪里瞄了一眼说这次的猪流感与当时的流感同属H1N1类。

-- 看上去是没得？我们学校还给我们发邮件说没关系不要恐慌要多洗手啥啥的；可是关于这个患病学生他们偏偏语焉不详，学生中间已经开始乱传了呀......Even if a schoolmate (not classmate) has the swine flu, it doesn't mean everyone in the school has been infected.
It's flu, not an insidious asymptomatic silent disease. If one has high fever, body aches, cough, or nausea/vomiting --- if one has flu-like symptoms, go see a doctor and get treated. If one doesn't have any symptoms, one does not have flu (swine or otherwise).

Tamiflu is effective on some strains of influenza but not others. It does work on this H1N1 strain that causes swine flu (and so does Relenza, but not amantadine).
Most people infected with influenza can get well on their own -- with adequate supportive care in a hospital. The 1910s flu epidemic killed a lot of people, partly because the hygiene and medical care were much worse then than they are now. Yes, more people will die, but then more people will die from other causes too.

That might be one element, but another more important reason is that the flu originated there. When it first started, nobody knew it was a new strain of flu. Hospitals and doctors assumed this was just your average old flu and did not pay much attention. A lot of patients didn't know how severe it can be and delayed seeking medical care. There was no public health alerts for several weeks, when the virus ran wild in high-density places (schools, subway, restaurants). Until someone finally got suspicious and analyzed the virus.Knowing wrote:我就怀疑墨西哥flu死人是因为医疗卫生条件没美国这边好，并不是病毒更凶猛。
Now we know. Now people are on the look-out. Not being No.1 is a good thing. If you treat quickly, quarantine quickly, alert the public quickly, transmission can be quelched effectively.

"一些科学家正在试图挖开更多的死于1918年流感的人的坟墓。伦敦的玛丽王后医学院教授奥克斯福德（JohnOxford）就是其中之一。去年，他打算从伯恩（PhyllisBurn，一位住在伦敦南部的20岁的女性）的尸体中采集肺部样本。伯恩当年因“西班牙流感”而去世，她被安葬在一个灌满了酒精的密封铅制棺材中。牛津相信，在伯恩的体内保存有完好的“西班牙流感”病毒。"

墨西哥人太那啥了，这话说的，我国顿时跳出来辟谣说我们这边啥病例都没发现，更没发现变种病毒，而且我国去墨西哥的游客可真不多。另外最那啥的是本周还要有一支墨西哥旅行团到中国玩儿呢……本地报纸安慰大家说，他们先去的是西安然后才来南京玩儿，到南京的时候潜伏期都过了，让大家莫要惊慌。tiffany wrote:说到这个，你们听新闻了没，昨天以色列一个极宗教的卫生部长（？）为了避免冒犯到极宗教的犹太人，建议把猪流感叫做墨西哥流感，遭到了墨西哥外交官的强烈抗议，然后以色列什么人赶紧跳出来说：他讲笑的。
然后今天墨西哥卫生部门（？）为了摘清楚跟猪流感的关系，说猪流感是中国游客带进来的，跟我们养猪那片儿地方没关系......
刚才我听收音机正在讲这个事儿，有个人打电话说：我昨天去墨西哥餐馆了，还吃了猪肉，我是不是命悬一线了？（我心想，真可怜啊）
作为嘉宾的专家说：不不不，这个现在不是猪流感，是人流感 （human flu）；其实这个病毒跟猪的关系我们还没理清呢。现在这病毒是靠人传染的，跟猪没什么关系。
以色列卫生部长说他的提议既是为了犹太人也为了穆斯林（什么时候以色列可以代言穆斯林了？），敢情这俩宗教的人民听见“猪”这个字都不行，甭管好事坏事。我琢磨着“猪”是不是好像我们文化里的性器官用字，总之是不洁，所以不能公开讲。
那个在墨西哥的养猪场，它的所有者是美国公司呀，其实也可以叫做“美国流感“呢。以色列就是捡软柿子捏。

The reality is that most strains of human influenza virus circulating around the world every year are strains shared between humans and pigs. The flu vaccines we get every fall are made on the basis of the most prevalent strains extracted from places and communities where pig and humans live closely in that particular year.
Pigs and humans have been sharing flu viruses for thousands of years. This new H1N1 virus is just a brand new strain that recently jumped from pigs to humans. There are plenty of old strains that go freely between pigs and humans la.

Actually, the flu virus going around the world every winter most often come from Asia, especially China and SE Asia because of the large and high-density populations of pigs and humans, and the close proximity of both species. These strains, although not "novel" or "glamorous," like this one, kill hundreds of thousands of people every year around the world.

我也感冒发烧了, 同事劝我去看医生. 诊所前台一个大牌子, "如果你有感冒症状, 请向前台索取一个口罩. " 医生很不屑的说, 这流感和平时也没啥大不同, 甚至还轻一点. 新闻媒体大惊小怪. 专业人士都这么说, 很令人安慰.Officials at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have warned people to stay home if either they or their children are sick.
"That's good advice but, unfortunately, nearly half of private-sector workers in the United States don't have a single paid sick day," Debra L. Ness, president of the National Partnership for Women & Families, said in a statement. "The same is true for nearly four in five low-wage workers. And nearly 100 million workers don't have a paid sick day they can use to care for a sick child. For them, staying home means losing pay and, perhaps, losing their job. In this economy, that's a terrible choice to have to make."
现在好了……一个墨西哥人经上海转机到了香港发现发病，一网打尽两个城市……墨西哥到上海还有上海到香港的两个航班里面还有十几个人没找到呢。人口密度那么高，有传染病不好弄挖。tiffany wrote:我倒，那西安的人民群众咋办捏？saveas wrote:墨西哥人太那啥了，这话说的，我国顿时跳出来辟谣说我们这边啥病例都没发现，更没发现变种病毒，而且我国去墨西哥的游客可真不多。另外最那啥的是本周还要有一支墨西哥旅行团到中国玩儿呢……本地报纸安慰大家说，他们先去的是西安然后才来南京玩儿，到南京的时候潜伏期都过了，让大家莫要惊慌。
我也不知道极端宗教犹太人啥意思，反正他们也不吃猪肉什么什么的（习惯跟穆斯林那么象，偏又跟穆斯林打的最凶），说不定人家心灵弱小，听不得猪这个字眼儿？
