No you shouldn't be. More people have died from the normal flu than swine flu. hundreds of thousands of people die from the normal influenza and so many less people have died from swine. Swine flu is pretty much over at this point. The media is just took it way too far to try to scare us. Dont' worry about it.

Calle,no you should not be worried about it,the swine flu itself is way less dangerous than the shot.I heard that the shot causes Gulilan Barre Syndrome,a nerve-disease that can paralyze the person or die from it.Test trials in Texas alone that 25 people die from the swine flu shots alone.I am not worried about it but my parents are freaking out.

I'm not scared of swine flu. Nobody has it where I live in California. And I doubt I will get it. You should be worried if you live somewhere where the swine flu is getting everybody.

Keep in mind the prevention is practically the same as the ordinary flu. In fact, this year the ordinary flu has killed more (more reported deaths, at least) people than the swine flu. Don't worry about it. As long as you wash your hands frequently, keep out of contact with germ infested objects (such as an unsanitized shopping cart) and cover your mouth when you sneeze, you'll be good.

No, not unless you come into contact with someone who has it, or who knows someone else infected.
It doesn't kill you even if you do get Swine flu, unless you're weak and have other significant health problems. It's just another strain of regular flu.
So don't be majorly worried, but just keep your wits about you. Well that's what i'm doing anyway. =D

as long as you take care of yourself there is nothing to be worried about unless you have a medical issue that causes your immune system to be weak. otherwise just make sure to wash and sanitize your hands often. dont forget that the swine flu is only causing a lot of fear because its new but the regular flu has affected people the same way but has not gotten the same 'publicity'

not scared nor is there any point in worrying now...
come winter time when there is a (small) chance things can get ugly is the time to start worrying...drug shortages, also drug resistance or increased virulence are all possibilities...whether this will happen or not is impossible to guess...
what is more worrying than the disease itself is how badly they dealt with its spread in the UK...even when only 5 people had it they still could not get it under control...imagine if it was not the Influenza virus, but something worse?

Don't be worried, at all. It really is nothing to worry about. If anything you should be more worried about catching the normal flu that goes around. The media make such a big fuss about everything.
