I was just wondering how likely a human is to die from swine flu if they contract it.

Depends on their immune system and the healthcare they have.

Stay away from the "vaccine" whatever you do.

No one in the U.S. has died from it, so obviously not everyone that gets it dies from it. However, those cases were mild. No one really knows a lot about it yet.

Swine flu is just like regular flu, but it has no vaccine. There is medication proved to be effective to it.

The swine flu is about as deadly as the regular flu. It is practically harmless to a healthy human, if he/she takes rpoper precautions once infected (i.e. fluids, rest). It is dangerous to those with weak immune systems though.

We dont know that much about it. But what we do know is that it has the potential to create vampire zombies that feast on the living spreading their disease world wide until everyone is forced to nuke entire cities!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...
so yes it can be deadly!

Not very. In Mexico, where the healthcare is bad and it is unsantitary, it has been less than ten percent. In the US, all 20 cases had mild flu symptoms and only one person went to the hospital and was not admitted. Remember SARS? Killed about half the people in China that got it... came to the US and was no big deal, nobody died. When you have sanitation and good healthcare you are fine.

Depends on the state of your immune system. The best defense is to : 1.strengthen your immune system as much as possible; 2. wash hands with soap and water, sanitizer at the very least; 3. avoid putting hand to eyes, mouth and nose.
The easiest way to strengthen you immune system is to take 250 micrograms of iodine daily. The thyroid gland is the major producer of "T" cells which is the strongest defender against viruses. Sea Kelp tablets supplements is the best source. DO NOT DELAY-START IMMEDIATELY!!!

Three weeks back Bird flu was reportedly transported by the Department of homeland Security in USAhttp://ufoblogger.blogspot.com/2009/04/b...
Who benefits from Swine Flu Pandemic?
The swine flu outbreak is likely to benefit one of the most prolific and successful venture capital firms in the United States: Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, Thomson Reuters Private Equity Week reported on Friday.
Shares of the two public companies in the firm's portfolio of eight Pandemic and Bio Defense companies -- BioCryst Pharmaceuticals (BCRX.O) and Novavax (NVAX.O) -- jumped Friday on news that the swine flu killed a reported 60 people in Mexico and has infected people in the United States.

Baxter: Product contained live bird flu virus
The company that released contaminated flu virus material from a plant in Austria confirmed Friday that the experimental product contained live H5N1 avian flu viruses.
And an official of the World Health Organization’s European operation said the body is closely monitoring the investigation into the events that took place at Baxter International’s research facility in Orth-Donau, Austriahttp://ufoblogger.blogspot.com/2009/04/s...

The mortality rate is a little over 7% which is a little bit higher than that of regular flue. Nobody knows much about it but I keep seeing that it could cause death in millions, which is an absolutely horrifying thought.
Hopefully it will just be something minor such as the bird flu. People thought it was the end of civilization but only a few hundred died.

it isn't extremely deadly but it mostly depends on which strain a person has. the one going around in southern california and mexico is a mix between avian flu and swine flue. Also, if your immune system is already not very healthy and if you have other respiratory disease, the rate of fatality goes up. The strain that is going around is especially dangerous because a person does not need to be in contact with swine to get it; it's being passed from one person to another.

The fact the current ’swine flu’ has shown to be contagious is alarming. So far the virus has shown to have a 6% 6.3% mortality rate. It may not seem like much, but please consider the following: The deadly influenza panic in 1918 had a mortality rate of under 1%.
This virus went on to kill tens of thousands of healthy people a day in large cities and up to 100 million people world wide.
Viruses, like this strain of swine flu, kill their host by over-stimulating active immune systems that are robust and healthy. That is why the victims in Mexico were between the ages of 20 and 45.
Some have said that no one in the United States have died from the virus, so we need not worry. Experts say it is only a matter of time. The virus is not prevalent enough to reach statistical significance in the United States, with only a handful of confirmed cases. 93.7% of all Mexicans with the virus recovered.
More cause for worry: The 1918 virus started off ‘mild’ before it mutated into a raging storm. It also does not mean we will see millions of deaths. It is too early to draw sweeping conclusions. Nevertheless, there is potential for a disastrous pandemic. If 50% of Americans catch this flu in the next two years, and the mortality rate stays at 6.3%, we would witness 20+ million deaths.
