I think people should continue to take extra precautions against catching swine flu. Wash your hands with soap and water, carry hand sanitzer with you, cover mouth when coughing,dont go to crowded places if you can help it. Theres a lot one can do to help stop the spread.

yes friend i agree . we should take responsibility for everything that is happening around us. taking the precautions mentioned by you is a neccesity plus we should consult a doctor if we get a flu.

I don't know. When it first started hitting the front pages, the pharmacy I work at was selling out of things like germX and purell and face masks at a crazy rate, but now we've had masks that have been sitting on the shelf for a month because we ordered more so that people could buy them instead of coming in to empty shelves and now they aren't selling. I think that now that its been around for a couple months, people have started to become less afraid of it. Although now is when its dangerous because it has spread so much! A couple months ago only a few people were contracting it.
