Adults aged 18-40 and those with compromised immune systems.
According to a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) press briefing on Monday, May 4, 2009, the median age of confirmed cases is 16 years with a range of 3 months to 81 years. There are 35 known hospitalizations in the United States with the one reported death. 62% of the confirmed cases are under 18 years of age. "
The CDC and World Health Organization (WHO) are working to evaluate the reasons for what seems to be a healthier group of younger people contracting the 2009 Swine Flu. It is unknown at present what accounts for this. It could be that the data is not accurate, the data is skewed perhaps by unreported cases among people with milder symptoms, or other not yet fully evaluated variables. The CDC is giving daily press briefings and these questions will be answered as soon as enough data is compiled to make meaningful assumptions or conclusions.

The way in which Swine flu affected china was that the number of people that went china decreased. This is because people were scared that they would get the virus.
It is caused by a virus called A-H1N1/09 influenza virus (aka swine flu).
No, not yet so don't worry
swine flue
Swine Flu A-H1N1/09 is caused by a virus, not by a fungus. The virus is a Type A Influenza strain named A-H1N1/09 or also called the Pandemic Swine Flu virus among other names around the world.
Swine flu is a respiratory disease caused by type A influenza virus that regularly causes outbreaks of influenza in pigs. The "classical" swine flu virus (an influenza type A H1N1 virus) was first isolated from a pig in 1930. Swine flu viruses cause illness in pigs, but the death rates are low. This new virus, although it is being called "swine flu," is not the same virus.
It is a Type A Influenza virus with RNA genome.Also called Swine Flu, the 2009 Pandemic Flu, 2009 Swine Flu, and A-H1N1/09.

NOTHING, the swine virus does not affect pigs...and if it did then humans can't get it from pigs. NOTHING, the swine virus does not affect pigs...and if it did then humans can't get it from pigs.
There is currently only one strain of influenza virus that causes pandemic Swine Flu. It is called A-H1N1/09. There have been previous strains of H1N1 that were similar, and some were even called Swine Flu, but they were different than that which causes the Swine Flu of the 2009 pandemic.
