The curry house theory

While sitting in my local curry house last night my dinner guest came up with a theory that might explain the apparently mild swine flu but a growing death rate: Swine flu isn't that mild. The official figures always warn of the problem in trying to find out exact figures of swine flu and if they are badly wrong that would level out the death rate. If we're seriously underestimating the swine flu cases then the high death rate is not so unexpected. It's only a theory but seems sound to me.
