If we look at the statistics, looking at a healthy population in general, the numbers almost nil.
There are no vaccines or drugs to treat flu swine flu? Currently there are no vaccines available, but we can still take preventive measuresMeasure above. And when infected, the CDC recommends that antiviral drugs, so that the virus multiplies in the body.
