It also appears to be more deadly to people under the age of 24 (normally flu kills the very old and very young).
Yup, but a biological weapon that only kills the old and weak makes no sense, wouldn't you agree?
For some reason that doesn't quite surprise me much.
(By the way, on a more serious note; there's a good reason why the infection is able to spread amongst under 25 years of age this rapidly. Many children and young-adults go to school and interact quite often with eachother, basically just about every day. Add to that the amount of carriers that do not get (very) sick and it's not too surprising.)
What I do know is that many of the people that have died of the swine flu, probably wouldn't have survived a normal flu either. Most deaths are somewhat 'special cases', even though its becoming more frequent.
