The swine flu is not really more lethal or contagious than most other flu viruses. You don't really have to worry about it as long as you don't belong to a special risk group (infant, elderly, impaired immune system) and treat it as any other flu. The media is just making it bigger than it really is.

Not worried about it. I am worried about people panicking and acting crazy though :)

Well down here in Texas, USA there have been a few cases recently.

One school in the city (Dallas) I live in will be shut down for quite some time because there were 3 kids found who had the flu.

I don't think it's that big of a deal either, but one of the kids flu condition was listed as "severe".

That's messed up. Even if it is just an online forum and even if you are just joking..

Anyways update is now a whole different school district is closed! The whole district.. that's quite a few schools. Also one death case reported.

There is a simple solution: take all the pigs in the world and put them on the north pole, then nuke them ---> no more swine flu!

I may have forgotten that it doesn't transfer from pigs to humans...but its a great plan anyway! :lol:
