Malta is the most densly populated country in malta however, thats an average, cause you get cities like london and madrid that are more densly populated than Malta.

Thousands of people contract the seasonal influenza and this is no different, just that being a new strain it is more suseptable to cause a an immune reaction and for symptoms to occur.
