I am hesitant to post this....but this is what I got from Marijah McCain today. She is a microbiologist and a natureopath and a homeopath. I don't always agree with everything...but this gives us information in which to understand this particular flu.

PS I can post more if y'all want it. (More specific things to take, etc.) I do think it is good she is working on a homeopathic nosode for this. Italic emphasis are mine.
And the link below just talks about "regular" flu....not this. She hasn't updated the website yet (and I don't know if she will.)
Here are snippets of the email I received today:

THE SWINE - H1N1 FLU - CYTOKINE STORM
This flu is different than other flus. You must pay attention here!
CDC officials detected a virus with a unique combination of gene
segments that have not been seen in people or pigs before. The bug
contains human virus, avian virus from North America and pig viruses
from North America, Europe and Asia.
Deaths from the Mexican influenza epidemic have the cytokine storm
pattern of young, healthy adults. Inflammatory cytokines can be
blocked by anti-inflammatory foods. The swine flu epidemic centered
in Mexico City appears to be a modern replay of the Spanish influenza
epidemic of 1918-19. Infants and elderly were spared. It was the
young adults with robust immune systems that were the prime victims
and the disease took them literally by storm.
Cytokine Storm -- Immune System out of Control
The Spanish flu killed by producing a virulent immune response with
production of large amounts of the immune system hormones, the
inflammatory cytokines IL-1, IL-6 and TNF. These are the cytokines
associated with the symptoms of infection, fever, fluid
retention/swelling, malaise, headache, etc. These are the
inflammatory symptoms that normally transition into recovery, but in
the case of swine flu, additional cytokines are produced, including
anti-inflammatory IL-10. The problem appears to be that the sudden
IL-10 signaling disrupts the natural transition from inflammation to
recovery and the inflammatory signaling becomes acute and
life-threatening.
Acute Inflammation Kills by Fluid in Lungs
The swine flu epidemics in Spain and once again in Mexico kill by
immunological inflammation that causes fluid to accumulate in lungs,
i.e. acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) triggered by a
cytokine storm.
This type of organ failure is similar to the consequences of
systemic infection, septicemia. These severe infections initiate an
acute inflammatory response that may be very dangerous, but in many
ways their similarity to swine flu symptoms may be fortuitous.
Treatment for cytokine mediated multiple organ failure may provide
some possible approaches to the treatment of swine flu.
Anytime there is fluid build-up you must flush the kidneys.
The next vital organ that needs to be detoxed and protected is the
liver.
Anti-inflammatory Treatment for Swine Flu - IMPORTANT!!!
Cytokine storms associated with sepsis and ARDS have been treated by
forcing progression of the inflammatory process into its recovery
phase. Some of the most effective approaches use recognizable
anti-inflammatory compounds.
The point about this CYTOKINE STORM for this flu is this - If you
get this flu it is important to stop specific immune system boosters.
No Beta Glucans, No Echinacea, Maitake, etc. Now if you are taking
these now, that is fine, as long as you don't take them if you do
get this Swine H1N1 flu. Taking immune system builders will not
make you more vulnerable to the flu, but they just MUST be stopped
if you get it. Immune system builders are normally very good for the
body but in this case it is important for you to understand the
Cytokine Storm. You must get this! Re-read it if necessary.
We are working on a specific homeopathic nosode for this strain of
flu (H1N1). I will send update as soon as it is in the house.
Estimated time - 2 weeks or less.
But, just because you are taking these [suppliments] does not mean that you should not take the necessary precautions not to catch this infection.
If this turns into a serious killer pandemic, then you
must shelter in place and stay home and in isolation. Be prepared
to stay in your home for at least 3 months or more. What I am
currently hearing is that this outbreak may not go killer, but the
rebound from a mutated strain will.

So I take much of what I hear and read with a grain of salt for now.
(and who were all those people exposed to??) 
Staggering if you sit down and really think about it!
