To put things in perspective:
"U.S. seasonal flu kills 13,000 since Jan."
"Common flu far more deadly than swine flu in U.S."
From the latter article: "The Centers for Disease Control estimates 36,000 people die annually in the United States from the flu."
The Swine flu has a scary name and a lot of hysterical media coverage, but so far it's nothing compared to the common flu. Let's not get freaked out yet.
