The swine flu is still spreading worldwide but appears to be no more dangerous than the usual seasonal flu strains. However, the devastating 1918 swine flu pandemic occurred in two phases, a relatively mild off-season outbreak followed by a far deadlier wave during the usual flu season, and the possibility of this happening with the current swine flu cannot be entirely ruled out.
