yes you can die just from Swine Flu doesnt matter if you have asthsma. The longer someone waits to get medical care, the more likely they are to die or get seriously ill.

Specifically, the flu is more likely to turn to pneumonia in asthmatics.Get vaccinated for the flu. If you are over 60, get pneumovax for pneumonia as well. Be alert for signs of real serious respiratory distress , like wet-sounding wheezing, burning in your chest, any lack of mental alertness etc. Respiratory therapy will likely be needed . Keep your Doc abreast of any worsening of symptoms.

If you do not have a spleen can you die from the flu virus the swine flu?

Anybody can potentially die from any flu, swine or otherwise. Those without a spleen are at a higher risk of developing chest infections (like pneunomia), but the spleen does not have anything to do with fighting any type of flu or whether you will die from it.


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.
