Whose at most risk from Swine Flu?

In some countries, the disease is spreading faster than the scientists anticipated. And with such high numbers of people suffering from swine flu, health-care specialists are now in a position to start assessing the behaviour of the disease.

It is now generally accepted that swine flu seems to affect young children more than the elderly. Even though the mortality rate is still quite low, a disproportionate number of children seem to be catching the disease and they seem to show the worst symptoms.

This is a worrying fact. Some sources say that more than one-third of all children will be infected with the swine flu virus. With a mortality rate of about 0.5%, that could result in a lot of swine flu related childhood deaths.
