I've been hearing about the new swine flu. Is it really dangerous?

It's certainly not a pleasant illness to have, but it is not particularly dangerous. The most common symptoms are fever, coughing, and fatigue, and in some cases people may also experience vomiting or diarrhea. In rare cases, it can cause more severe illnesses such as pneumonia or bronchitis. However, these complications are relatively uncommon.
