[edit ]

so we dont use Flu in this article name, to be more formal, but no one says swine influenza. all news outlets say swine flu, doctors might say h1n1 influenza virus. so, wikipedia on its worse days might write "a man caught swine influenza while in a fixed wing aircraft that was flying from the Atlantic Archipelago"69.216.101.196 (talk) 18:59, 6 January 2019 (UTC) [reply ]

Unsupported statement about global infection rate

[edit ]

The article states that "700 million to 1.4 billion people" contracted swine flu. Neither of the 2 sources cited to support this statement contain that information. -----Cowlinator (talk) 03:54, 16 March 2020 (UTC) [reply ]

Death rate?

[edit ]

Sometimes sources about certain disease would mention the death rate why isn’t the death rate present? CycoMa (talk) 05:27, 21 March 2020 (UTC) [reply ]
