Different virus.
Answer by David C
It’s caused by a new virus, so there is no swine flu vaccine available to prevent infections.

Answer by Kaite.
It is no different. In fact, it is less infectious then seasonal flu.
There are viruses spreading around the world all the time but they go unreported. Pandemics have happened throughout history, but because of the lack of technology they were never reported. People put Pandemics in the past down to Gods will and not scientific mutation.
It is believed that a further mutation would be needed in order for the H1N1 virus to cause the mass deaths that have been estimated by some.
But at this point, it is impossible to predict with any accuracy how the virus will continue to evolve.
UK experts at the National Institute for Medical Research will outline on Friday the work they are due to start on samples of the virus sent from the US.
The research, being done at the World Influenza Centre in Mill Hill, will be vital for working out the structure of the virus, where it came from, how quickly it is capable of spreading and its potential to cause illness.
The swine flu strain is a H1N1 virus, the same type as seasonal flu which circulates throughout the world every year, and kills roughly 1% of those infected.
Worrying about this will do nothing, worrying makes your immune system lower because you get less sleep and you eat less. So stop worrying about something we can’t affect. Mother Nature obviously thinks this is the best thing to happen to the human race, but we have survived much worse! If we got wiped out after every virus threat, civilisation probably wouldnt have lasted very long.
If we ended up in a pandemic, people would start panic buying non perishable foods, would stay indoors, borders would be closed, travel restricted, people would basically go into hiding.

Answer by Kevin H
it is different in that people believe swine flu is dangerous and common flu is not. Actually you are much more likely to die from common flu.
