So many people have the H1N1 flu and it is contagious so people should prevent against the H1N1 flu. In the world, 300,000 people have had the H1N1 flu, and 3,000 people have died from it. In Korea, 10,000 people have had the H1N1 flu. 40 people died because the H1N1 flu. But the normal flu is more dangerous than the H1N1 flu because 4,000 people have died from the normal flu, but only 3,000 people have died from the H1N1 flu.
