Swine flu will spread further across the world, experts at the World Health Organisation warned Friday, as the number of confirmed cases surged by more than 1,000 and the US reported two more deaths.

Acting WHO Assistant Director-General Keiji Fukuda told reporters that studies by experts indicated a "significant number of people" had been infected, but remained undetected or unconfirmed by laboratory tests.

Why is the risk of H1N1 mutating any higher than the risk of any regular flu strain mutating?
were there deaths in 1st world countries occuring in a usually strong demographic like 18-36 or something?
And stats from mexico don't take into account the fact that we're just cleaner up here. Not trying to be insulting. No sarcasm either.

I feel that there is very very very very low possibility that virus from one family would get genes from another one in vivo and would still be able to infect people as easily as flu. The whole issue behind flu being wide-spread is its relative low lethality.
Every one of us has viruses in nose that cause cold. They are much more wide spread then flu. So far no hymera with HIV or Ebola.
If such a virus would appear, i personally overnight would be convinced that all the crazy depopulation theories are real and it was a lab beast.
