Are you afraid of the swine flu? Keep it in perspective. Three thousand people die every day from malaria. Three hundred thousand die every year from run of the mill flu viruses, mostly the elderly and those with chronic respiratory illnesses and compromised immune systems. Keep your head, follow good hygiene practices, and stay home when you have cold and flu symptoms so you don't pass around whatever ails you. But don't get into a panic. Most of the people who died during the 1918 influenza pandemic did not die from the flu but from strep infections which could not be effectively treated because antibiotics had not been developed.
So don't panic. Be informed and live every day as if it's your last. You have more chance of dying driving within ten miles of your own house than dying from the swine flu.
