The normal flu kills so many every year because it is so wide spread. Sure its killed and kills a number or stat higher than that of the N1H1. But keep in mind N1H1 is just at its start here. Given the chance to spread like the regular flu and it the number of deaths will make the normal flu look like nothing.
The pressure that has been put on the World Health Organizations to keep quiet is also disturbing. Governments trying to put a lid on the "hype" is what is really going on in fear that it will hurt the economy with panics.

Right, but it's not getting worse, its getting BETTER. The latest cases are very mild and many people catching it in Thailand are shaking it in TWO DAYS WITH NO MEDS!!! The N1H1 virus is very weak but it does transmit easily from person to person. It has grown even weaker in Asia.
More people will die today in the world from malaria, dengue fever and dirty drinking water than Swine Flu, which I may add will kill probably nobody today. Yet, none of the others gets any press at all.
In Asia they say they fear it mixing with Avian Flu.
There are currently no cases of Avian Flu, and though I'm just a simple pornographer, common sense tells me you need the presence of this other virus in order for it to mix with this one.
All of this mixed with the fact that it is hardly killing anyone and people are quickly recovering from it, it just doesn't add up.
I'm calling Media Hype. It takes everyones mind of the current economic problems and keeps them from traveling or going out much, thus realizing they are broke. It's all smoke and mirrors, just like the last outbreak of Swine Flu was.
* I was in Thailand during the height of their HIV crisis. I did not get HIV and I was raw dogging girls left and right.
* I was in Asia during SARS and though I did have a scare, I did not catch SARS.
* I was in Asia during Bird Flu and did not catch Bird Flu.
So now it's Swine Flu. WHEN and IF this mutates and starts killing mass people, then I will worry. Until then, I'm more concerned getting flattened on my bike while driving on these crazy roads.
M.E.D.I.A. H.Y.P.E.
