Well, it starts at upper respiratory problems, and it is basically the common flu. The only reason everyone is freakin out is because this outbreak lasts longer than the usual ones. What I mean is, there are multiple infections of this every year, but it usually weakens, then dies out after about 3 or 4 people. But this one hasn't died out yet. They don't want another 1918 to happen again, but luckily this new swine flu has been proven to be not as dangerous as that one...
