While H1N1, or swine flu, is notorious for the deaths attributed to it, its symptoms are not much different from other forms of influenza. This is probably because it is made up of different forms of influenza. Cases were found to be made up of genetic elements from four different flu viruses – North American swine influenza, North American avian influenza, human influenza, and a swine influenza virus typically found in Asia and Europe. The majority of deaths involve underlying conditions like muscular dystrophy, asthma or pregnancy to make them more vulnerable. There is a vaccine being distributed currently to help fight the outbreak, but whether it's an actual threat or not depends on the victim.

abstract	While H1N1, or swine flu, is notorious for the deaths attributed to it, its symptoms are not much different from other forms of influenza. This is probably because it is made up of different forms of influenza. Cases were found to be made up of genetic elements from four different flu viruses – North American swine influenza, North American avian influenza, human influenza, and a swine influenza virus typically found in Asia and Europe. The majority of deaths involve underlying conditions like muscular dystrophy, asthma or pregnancy to make them more vulnerable. There is a vaccine being distributed currently to help fight the outbreak, but whether it's an actual threat or not depends on the victim. That said, worst case predictions estimate that up to 30 percent of the population may get swine flu and 2 percent of those infected would die, so if you're in a high risk category, getting the vaccine early is worth the risk.
