Actually, here's a good article that helps with good information about H1N1 (swine) flu.  My take is not to get too excited or worried about this (of course I'm a geezer!).  But the truth is that, once again, the media is hyping this as a crises for all they are worth.  This flu appears to be no more "deadly" (as measured by % deaths per case of infection) than the standard flue people get every year.   It's just that less people are immune to it so more people will get it than usual.  Oh well, read it and decide for yourself:
