Nikki, I have read a lot about the swine flu and I can assure you that it is by far not as bad as it sounds. The media spun it in a really bad way because this is the first flu that originated from an animal and a human got infected. That's all, really. The swine flu, or H1N1, has the same symptoms as the normal flu and can be treated with the very same meds. You can check the website of the WHO (http://who.int) for more info on that

Also, I don't want you to panic, but that people have died from it, doesn't mean that this flu is worse than the normal flu. People do die from the normal flu as well and more than you'd think. Like I said, I think the media just made a bigger deal out of it than it actually is to get their papers sold.
