Cat in Park City has the swine flu - The Park Record

A 14-year-old black cat in Park City has contracted the swine flu, a veterinarian told The Park Record Friday.

Well it's good that the cat didn't come down with regular seasonal flu, which is much harder on humans than H1N1!

H1N1 is more often fatal than is "regular seasonal flu". It doesn't get much "harder on humans" than that. Death is so final.

Back To Journalism School. This reporter never states and the facts never say this cat tested positive for H1N1. Getting facts straight is only a secondary issue in today's media. Sensationalism first!!

oh boy. don't you understand what h1n1 is? it's influenza type A. the worst type you can get.

look through history, influenza is much harder on humans. h1n1 and seasonal flu could potentially make a strain even stronger. that's what they think, doesn't mean it'll happen.

regardless. the flu is worse. go read some and become informed for once in your life.

Do you not understand anything you read? Everyone - and I mean EVERYONE - except you understands that "flu" stands for "influenza" and that there are many forms of it. So how can "the flu" be "worse"?? Worse than what - itself?? And influenza strains are not the same thing as influenza types; there are countless strains but only 3 types, A,B and C, of which only A and B cause serious illness. So H1N1 is ONE STRAIN of influenza of Type A; only strains of Type A cause worldwide epidemics or pandemics. Informed people are discussing the comparative morbidity and mortality rates of different strains of influenza. You seem to be staring at your navel and babbling.
