The information is almost conflicting.

On one hand, the flu had been labeled a "pandemic". On the other hand, it is not killing
people. It has been reported as a very weak flu. Once people get it (and many don't even
know they have it), they ride it out and they're fine. People are dying less from this flu
than from a normal seasonal flu.

However, many are saying that when this flu swings back around in the fall, it could be more
lethal. That would be a huge problem--easy transmission and more deaths.

Right now, it sounds like it is spreading rapidly---but it is not as bad as most seasonal flues.
