The world exchanges millions of goods daily (ie. services, money, necessities, material wants) and along with the exchange of these is the exchange of disease. The flu is spreading like any other cold/disease. Contact.

Now, on the other hand, you do not need to be worried about the flu. People in Mexico are dieing because of poor healthcare and living conditions, so, (duh) unless you are homeless you are ok . (i assume everyone on this site is not because of your access to a computer). The swine flu is just like any other Influenza strand, and with the right treatment can be cured, just like any other influenza strand. People need to take it upon themselves if they feel sick to see their pediatrician so they can make sure they do not have swine, and get the proper treatment if they unfortunately do.

Also, another side note... if you have swine it just weakens you, and makes you more susceptible to pneumonia.
Verry good point. =]
