Thats 1.307 x 10-7 percent of the population!
The symptoms are almost identical to the good old normal flu. There is probably thousands of cases of this but people just think they have the flu. The reason so many people died in Mexico is a lack of good medical care. While cases spread throughout mexico, almost all of the deaths in mexico have occurred in rural areas.
I don't know about you, but I don't like the normal flu either. Also I think all the hype isn't necessarily the Swine Flu itself, but they are fearful of what the Swine flu will mutate into when it mixes with other more common strands of the flu. As you can see it has spread(by means of air travel) very fast. Now have it mutate a few times to the point were normal antibiotics are of no help and I think we will have something to worry about. But why not take a few very minor and easy precautions to help prevent the spread of it. Keeping your pax comfortable in the meantime.
