The big difference with H1N1 seems to be the way it attacks healthy teenagers.

A couple of my friends have had it, and it is a bitch of a flu. It probably isn't killing more than the regular flu season flus, but it is a very nasty thing to have with a very long recovery period. If your temperature goes over 38.9 (not sure what that is in f anymore) you need to take Tamaflu. It is only effective if you take it within the first 48 hours, but seems to work.
