This really depends on the person but my personal opinion of the matter is, we should not be scared just because the press is. We all know how dramatic they want to make situations. They are just wanting something bad to discuss, since the US's economy is getting back on track and Obama is now just another president.

Very true my parents are mexican so I feel like people thinks I have the flue....

I heard that scientist are worried that the flue would evolve(mutate) to something more deadly.

I you don't use public transportation, then you have nothing to fear about. But as for me, I take the train to school and yes, I have to be careful not to stand next to someone who may or may not have it.

I'm not really scared of swine flu, it is extremely unlikely to kill you if you do get it and also I think it's been blown out of proportion by the media.

lol very very little
