it is well known that the H1N1 flu is actually milder than the seasonal flu. the problem is that it is much more contagious. so even though you are less likely to get really sick from it, you will see more people in the ICU due to the large number of people getting the virus (rare complication x many people = relatively large amount of people with complications)
