H1n1 Swine facts
While investigating facts about H1n1 Swine, I found out little known, but curios details like:
Influenza virus A (H1N1) was the type responsible for the Spanish Flu pandemic in 1918 (between 50 and 100 million people died) and the Swine Flu pandemic in 2009 (as many as 579,000 people died).
The 2009 H1N1 swine flu outbreak killed 200 000 people around the world, 80% of them younger than 65
In my opinion, it is useful to put together a list of the most interesting details from trusted sources that I've come across. Here are 6 of the best facts about H1n1 Swine I managed to collect.
