If the swine flu is just like the common cold then why did those people die?
Okay I've read the symtoms and its just like the common cold and flu.
I hardly ever get colds and I haven't had the flu since I was little but I didnt know a flu could kill you. I just dont understand this swine flu! How is it deadly?

No one said it was just a common cold.
It's a common FLU, People are deing in Mexico cause of bad health care.
And you can die from a fever and the swine flu can cause Fatality

well has the same symptoms of the flu , but different strain than the one every one knows
by deadly know one knows how it kills the people , but i read somewhere that it weakens the immune system so much that the body gives up and dies the virus doesn't actually kill you
and they died because it's not a common cold it's the swine flu which isn't the common cold it's a combination of bird/pig/human flu

The only people who have died have lived in Mexico City. The most polluted city on the planet. They say that the quality of air is so bad, it is like smoking 2 packs of cigarettes a day. Not only that it has 30% less oxygen than a sea level city. Pile on top of that very crowded unsanitary conditions and you get deaths. Did you know that in the US, 36 THOUSAND people die every single year from the flu? It's true! http://www.cdc.gov/od/oc/media/pressrel/r030107.htm And we are worried about 80 deaths in Mexico City.. where some people live in tin shacks and have no running water or access to health care? That doesn't make sense. In the US, nobody has even been sick enough to be in the hospital, never mind died. Don't worry!

Its not just like a common cold. Its worse and it has symptoms of a flu. As for deaths, the only recorded deaths are from Mexico, which hasn't got a very good health care system and some are poor and starved and could not seek medical attention. Its not a good disease to get though, and its not harmless.
I live in Australia and today in the papers on the front page in huge letters were the words, "KILLER VIRUS ON ITS WAY", which is just stupid. A lot of people are scaremongering. Don't be too lax though and avoid people with flu symptoms just to be safe.
Chances are it won't kill you but better to be safe then sorry aye?

Okay, along with her question....well sorta. I know that there was like 40 cases in US but how many died? I am kinda panicking over this.... Even though I live in Pennsylvania... But states around me like NY and Ohio have gotten it. Am I suppose to be panicking? Can this Swine Flu be treated successfully?!
