These final estimates were that from April 12, 2009 to April 10, 2010 approximately 60.8 million cases (range: 43.3-89.3 million), 274,304 hospitalizations (195,086-402,719), and 12,469 deaths

60.8 million 12,469 deaths you do the math, but that isn’t anywhere near 60%.

I don't quite get your point? H1N1 is not avian flu, it is swine flu, and its fatality rate is fairly low, as we expect with highly transmissible viruses. Avian flu (H5N1) is not contagious, and has around 60% fatality. Avian flu H7N9 has about 20% fatality, according to the WHO, and is suspected of limited human to human transmission.

Ebola cannot really be compared to influenza. It attacks different cell types and the virus is structurally different. In general, factors that make a virus highly lethal limit it from being highly contagious.

[Kartographer]

H5N1 is a highly pathogenic avian (bird) flu virus that has caused serious outbreaks in domestic poultry in parts of Asia and the Middle East. Highly pathogenic refers to the virus’s ability to produce disease. Although H5N1 does not usually infect humans, nearly 650 cases of human cases of H5N1 have been reported from 15 countries since 2003.

650 H5N1 deaths in a period of 12 years? Ebola has killed 1552 so far this year and is still spreading.

I still say do the math.
