1) Young otherwise healthy adults have been the most susceptible.
2) It's not less harmful. The regular seasonal flu is the most dangerous to the very young and the very old, and if death occurs, it's usually a slow progression, from kind of sick, to very sick, to pneumonia. H1N1 can have someone to running a marathon one day to a ventilator in the ICU the next.
