you're wrong... the mortality for swine flu is SIGNIFICANTLY higher. you've confused mortality rate and number of dead. number of dead from h1n1 is ALOT lower then seasonal flu. but that is because seasonal flu hits WAAAAAAY more people then h1n1. the mortality rate however is much higher then seasonal flu. ie, if you get h1n1 you have a higher chance of dying (mortality rate). but the overall dead from swine flu is much less because swine flu has inflicted less people then seasonal flu.
