Well, klint, there are people who got well after having the bubonic plague, but it is quite fatal. There is no medicine that is really that effective. If you don't take the less effective meds, I think that you'll die. Good thing it hasn't spread to Eastern Europe yet.
My source (DK Media) says that most patients seem to ride it off without any help from either doctor or medication. People dying is usually because of them being weak in the first place, like elderly people and infants, while most adults and younger people would be riding it off with the symptoms but nothing else.

It depends on how long you have the infection (I think). I'll be fine here in the UK though as the NHS have been stocking up on Tamiflu for eons.
Too much misinformation >_< Or perhaps the info is moving so quickly that people aren't keeping up.
* There has been at least one confirmed death in the US from swine flu: a 23 month old baby. * The virus has reportedly killed young adults which is one of the features that has flu experts scratching their heads. * While I'm not sure about getting the flu from eating pork (it seems transmission is aerosol), it is said that swine flu might do to the world what Mad Cow Disease did to the UK beef industry- cripple it.
Things like this do happen, you know. It's not like some magical belief that it won't will protect you from antigenic shift.

I am most positive that it is not transmission by ingestion rather it is actually aerosol. I know this because I read the recent New England medical journal.
The world health organization has ranked it as a 4 out of 6 on their epidemic scale plenty of people all over the world have it, places that have lots of people in small areas are the most at concern as it will spread like wildfire. In the U.S. I only know of one dead, and that was an infant in Texas. Mexico's current death toll is around 200 which is pretty bad considering its a pig disease.
