Basically, how I look at it, is that this thing has barely killed the amount of people the regular influenza strains kill every year -- I just look at this stuff so critically now.

I completely agree.
A lot of things can be prevented by common sense:
1) wash your hands thoroughly (soap + hot water and scrub) and often. Many girls have disgusting hygienic habits from what I've seen in the washroom.
2) If you're coughing -- COVER YOUR MOUTH. Also, cough into your ELBOW not your hands.
As you can see, I'm far more concerned about people's habits than the swine flu.
