Swine Flu H1N1 - is it something to worry about if you are overweight or obese ?

If you happen to be in the obese group then you probably don't need to worry about anything else but maybe you should.

Swine flu seems to be picking disproportionately on the over weight. This chart was prepared by Sonia Olsen of the CDC.

Swine flu seems to be at least twice as dangerous to the overweight as to everyone else.

Swine flu seems to be on the rise up and down the coast of the USA and people are dieing. Here is the latest CDC status report. Holiday makers in China from the USA are starting to be rounded up if there is a suspicion of swine flu.

My previous post about swine flu and it looks as if swine flu will be a serious issue come the Fall.

This is what the virus looks like, very infectious but not very dangerous most of the time, but the danger is that it will mutate into something really dangerous while remaining highly infectious.
