   Hi,
   This is really going to be the very last question I answer about Flu.
   I am thoroughly fed up with this unnecessary panic.
   Spanish, Bird, Asian, and the so called swine flu are all just flu’s and should be treated as such.
   Vaccines nowadays are very good so there is no need to panic. I don’t know which is worse because every one is affect differently according to their state of health at the time of catching.
   I have had the Asian and it was not a pleasant experience, the only thing I can say is that I am still here.
   Good luck.

   If you had the spanish flu and survied you’d probably be one of the luckiest buggers around good on ya similar with bird flu
   but i’d say the spanish flu would be way way worse… it wasnt long before the flu (predominant in healthy adults) took over the whole body, into the lungs causeing you to die from a cytokine storm, which is pretty much an over reaction of the immune system and the body drowns in its own fluids, as well as bleeding from random places like ears etc.

   Despite the severity of the Spanish Flu it only killed around 2.5 percent of the men and women who contracted it meaning that it had a very low mortality rate.
   The most deadly influenza virus is still the H5N1 flu virus which is still surfacing in Asia and in Egypt. The H5N1 Bird flu virus has killed over 50 percent of all the people who get it even when they get medical treatment quickly. If the H5N1 Bird flu virus actually became as contagious as the recently emerging swine flu the world would have an extremely serious crisis on its hands. Thousands of men and women have already been affected by the swine influenza virus however the vast majority of them pull through.

   Flu viruses are very good at mutating into different forms and the new swine influenza virus is said to be a mix of a type of swine influenza virus, a bird influenza virus and even an influenza virus which commonly infects humans. At this point there is very little that can be done except to sit and wait and hope for the best. National health authorities around the world are working constantly to try and contain the virus and to learn more about it.
