I'd just like to make clear that while Swine Flu IS in fact an H1N1 virus, H1N1 is actually just a type of disease, so while all Swine Flu is H1N1, very little of H1N1 is actually Swine Flu.

For those who don't want to click the link, H1N1 is the most common cause of the flu in humans.

And yeah, almost none of thse articles have mentioned people dying. It's really almost nothing for us to worry about, at least not compared to the still active, tohugh not newsworthy Avian flu, or possibly even the ordinary flu.

It's kinda funny, and sad, how this fell in coverage in the media or in personal discussions it seems.

Are people back to worrying about HPV?

Yeah, it dropped real quick. I still only saw that one person with the mask on so yay. I still hear about it on the news reports when they give updates, but really everyone is more worried about the Santa Barbara wildfires around here now. So much for the generation of fear idea.
