I’m not a medical guy, at all, so feel free to correct my interpretation if this is your profession.

Ok, just looked at this a little closer online.
Here’s a quick synopsis:
“Flu (influenza) viruses are divided into four broad categories: influenza A, B, C or D. Influenza A is the most common type. H1N1 flu is a subtype of influenza A.”

I am not in the medical field and have zero knowledge regarding this subject matter. I was just curious how this virus stacked up to the flu.

The numbers don't mean anything if the data being reported is not correct.

Fingers crossed.
