I've been hearing a lot of news stories about a new flu virus called swine flu. Should I be worried?

Yes, you should definitely be concerned about the spread of this new strain of influenza. The World Health Organization has declared it a global health emergency and warned that it could cause widespread illness and death. It is important to take precautions such as washing your hands regularly, avoiding close contact with people who are sick, and getting vaccinated if possible.
