Actually, I did my research.

While H1N1 does spread amongst the young (1o to 45), according to the WHO: “of the more serious cases, more than half of hospitalized people had underlying health conditions or weak immune systems.”. These are primarily seen in small children, pregnant women, and the elderly.

Conversely, underlying medical conditions are rare among “young, healthy” cadets, and so the risk of observing serious cases amongst Air Force cadets is low.

Cheers!

Your statement that “Despite the low danger of H1N1 influenza for young, healthy cadets, the Air Force should be commended for their quick action.” is in error at best.

The distinction between this incarnation of swine flu and ordinary flu strains is that it is apparently much more similar to the 1918 outbreak in that the young and healthy are the precise target for vulnerability. This is the exact reason why there is so much concern on the WHO’s part.

Please reaserch the subject before making blanket statements that are not based in fact
