Lynchburg, VA - The potential for a global pandemic of Swine Flu is very real, but do you find yourself wondering what all the fuss is about? The fact is; regular influenza is responsible for more than 30,000 deaths a year in the United States. The swine flu has only one confirmed U.S. death, but health officials say the real danger is potential. First, it's a new virus. Our immune systems don't have a defense for it, and there's no vaccine yet. Swine flu can also spread from person-to-person, something the bird flu several years ago generally did not.
