Seasonal flu is deadly enough - 250000-50 million are dead each year. However, the flu or another most of the elderly are vulnerable to certain types of chronic diseases such as asthma.

Benefits for older people

In the elderly, the virus contains the genetic material of humans and pigs than two birds, which is a mixture of two new H1N1, seems to have some additional protection. The 100 million people in 5000 that killed 10,000 people that caused the 1918 outbreaks of H1N1 virus is a very distant relative.

26 survey, published in the journal Nature, people born before 1920 years, 1918, in the blood, and I remember verification of the antibody of child infectious diseases their immune system is proposed.

This work by Dr. Yoshihiro Kawaoka, most other research, this new H1N1 virus does not remain in the nose and throat strain.

"A significant improvement in the lung of H1N1 virus replication," Kawaoka. Further research may also impact on the stomach, the normal people, it is not seen as high risk targets.

On Friday, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the University of Michigan's 19 teams, it was reported that the treatment of obese patients in the intensive care unit. In addition, the symptoms of abnormalities in multiple organ failure and pulmonary thrombosis.
