João Silva asked:

Seasonal Flu (regular flu) infects millions of people every year. It’s fair to say it’s a common ailment, just like a cold.
Regular flu also kills thousands of people each year…
Of all the swine flu cases I heard about, most people are getting better, just like with a regular flu.
Of course if you’re elderly or a newborn or an immunodeficient person, well, the flu might be harder to treat and may kill you, but that’s not news!

Are we panicking over nothing?
