There is now a vaccine against the Pandemic Swine Flu that should be released to the US in mid October 2009, (as well as other nations) and will hopefully be in time for the 2009 - 2010 flu season in the Northern Hemisphere.
It is anticipated that the Novel H1N1 strain of flu will return in the fall along with the seasonal flu and since this flu season will continue into 2010, there is a potential to have deaths caused by Novel H1N1 in 2010. Not all people in the world will take the voluntary immunization, not all will have it available to them even if they do want to take it, and some may take it but not achieve full immunity in time to avoid contracting symptoms. So, people could die of it in 2010, and especially if it mutates into a more virulent strain than that which spread in the first wave of outbreak.
The immunization plans by most governments includes distribution on a priority basis to those at the highest risk of severe complications or death from the virus, which will hopefully supply the needed vaccine in time for most people who might have otherwise died of the disease.
No, It will turn out to be a case of "media Hype".
Sadly a few hundred, or perhaps a few thousand will die, but it will not be the "End of the world."
It will end, and within a few months, if not weeks, the population of the world will be even bigger than it was before.
Mind you, it would be good for the planet if about 60% of the population was removed, but it will not happen.
Yes, it has caused death in some young and healthy people but more typically those who do not survive have other underlying medical conditions or complications with the flu. It has not been as deadly as originally feared and has been less deadly than the seasonal flu, but one of the early concerns was that young healthy people were dying more than they usually did with seasonal flu.
The swine flu already hit in 2009. As of 2011, annual flu shots include a vaccine for swine flu.
"The shot" is a vaccine for the swine flu. If you get the vaccine, then, in theory, you don't get the swine flu. If you didn't get it, then you didn't "survive" it, because "surviving" it means that you got the disease but didn't die from it. So, zero is the answer. On the other hand, the swine flu is no more deadly than the common flu, so the vast majority of the people who got the swine flu survived it.
Children are dying from swine flu because people of any age can die from any type of flu including seasonal.
Swine Flu
yes..... a 23 month old has died from the swine flu
swine flu is not as bad as normal flu
Swine flu is a threat you can die from it. Wash and Sanitize your hands, cough the right way, don't touch your face, and keep your germs to your self do these things to prevent swine flu. So be careful
They don't shoot you, and it isn't a 'shot' of a drink, it's a needle in the arm. In the 2009-2010 flu season there was a mist as well as a shot for the vaccination for swine flu. In the 2010-2011 flu season the vaccine for swine flu protection is included in the one vaccination for the seasonal flu.
You can die from any strain of flu, anywhere in the world.
I would say lots of people will die from it.
no it is only a flu. although some people may die, but that only means they have a weak immune system.
no
