I've been hearing a lot about the swine flu lately, what do I need to know?

The Swine Flu is a new strain of influenza that has caused some concern in recent months. It's not as contagious as regular seasonal flu, but it can still be spread from person-to-person through coughing and sneezing. You should take precautions to avoid catching or spreading the virus, such as washing your hands often and avoiding close contact with people who may have the virus. If you are sick, stay home and seek medical care promptly.
