I've been hearing about the swine flu. Is it dangerous?
assistant
Yes, the swine flu is a very serious virus that can cause severe illness and even death. It is spread through close contact with an infected person, such as living in the same household or being in the same place for a long time. The best way to protect yourself from this virus is to wash your hands often, avoid touching your face, cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue or your elbow, and stay away from people who are sick.
