near "normal" for a number of years at this point. Given its rate
of mutation, you'd have to think this is going to go on for some
time :/

The "regular" flu goes through the same mutation process, and
people have been dealing with that for hundreds of years. Why does
there have to be difference?

Because it appears to have a higher propensity for mutation, and appears far more inherenetly dangerous. Ergo it is different, and doesn't show any sign of going away like for argument sake the spanish flu.

Bird flu? Swine flu? H1N1? And of course, the Spanish flu, to name
a few. :)

Phrrpt. That are new variants each year. I believe current "flu shots" are a stab in the dark at what researchers think are going to be the next big thing and usually include 3-4 possible variations. Implying the "flu" has many "minor" variations each year. Just how many, shrug?
