It is not attacking them so much as they are simply more vulnerable to it. You see, this age group are the ones in close proximity to large poulations of others the of similar age; they are at school and college. Plus, especialy the really young kids, still do not have as strong an immune system as an adult does.

Because the parents make the kids go get the eggs...

How long will it take for people to stop whining about H1N1 since the common cold kills more people?

Answer:It seems like the widespread fears and myths have been replaced with good scientific information now, and, at the beginning the 2010-2011 flu season, people are already more at ease knowing the facts and truth, and having learned how to protect themselves.That doesn't mean that there is no longer any risk of serious illness and death from the H1N1/09 pandemic flu, however. The vaccine for H1N1/09 will be included in the current seasonal flu vaccine, so be sure to get your flu shot to protect you from it and the other two strains of flu that are expected to go around in this year's flu season that are also included in the 2010 seasonal flu vaccination.More...As to the statement in the question that, "The common cold kills more people" than the H1N1/09 influenza: that is more myth. It is not true. The common cold virus rarely causes death in otherwise healthy people and certainly does not cause more deaths than any types of influenza do. You may be mistaking something you heard about other types of seasonal flu instead of about the common cold. It is true that in past flu seasons, the "regular" seasonal flu has killed more people than H1N1/09 has.Be sure to know your facts or you can be adding to the fear and "whining" by spreading the myths. You can directly help to stop that by learning and giving out the correct information and real facts. These are available at WikiAnswers in the Categories of Cold and Flu and H1N1 Pandemic Swine Flu.

Is it healthy to jog during H1N1 season?

If you are afraid to get H1N1 avoid larger crowds and wash your hands. So far there's no H1N1 season, it's spreading still. So jogging isn't more dangerous then usual unless someone sneezes in your face and that can happen at the supermarket.
