We can see from the graph that H1N1 is not your tipical flu. Seasonal flu kills older people age of 65++ but the swine flu kills young to mid adults. (25-49). It makes sense that seasonal flu would put older people at higher risk for death becuase their immune system is not as strong as younger people but it doesnt seem to make a whole lot of sense that swine flu would kill mid adults. Maybe These adults have some kind of weak spot or their immune system is not as strong at this age that why they have much higher death rate if they get n1h1 virus.
