Best Answer

Yes, the height doesn't seem to make any difference in the infection rates.

People who are morbidly obese (overweight enough for it to make them at risk of serious disease or death) do seem to have more complications and are among those at highest risk of catching the H1N1/09 virus and having complications as well.

Otherwise, morphology (body type and size) doesn't seem to enter into the picture much.

Can you get Swine Flu from avain flu?

No you cant get it from avian flu directly, because swine flu is literally pig flu, so it originated from pigs, or so the name says. Same thing for avian flu, its, bird flu. S.o no, but you can get swine flu from birds, because flus can be carried from organisms to organisms. So, cutting it short, you can't get it from avian flu, but you can get it from a bird that has swine flu. A bit tedious but that's my answer.

How many people survived the Swine Flu by using taking the shot?

"The shot" is a vaccine for the swine flu. If you get the vaccine, then, in theory, you don't get the swine flu. If you didn't get it, then you didn't "survive" it, because "surviving" it means that you got the disease but didn't die from it. So, zero is the answer. On the other hand, the swine flu is no more deadly than the common flu, so the vast majority of the people who got the swine flu survived it.


Can Swine Flu kill adults?

The Swine Flu is similar to the regular seasonal flu, many adults and children have died from it around the world, but the majority recover.
