Yeah but the problem with all viruses is how fast they mutate.

The swine flu is a really interesting virus and is why it is getting so much attention lately. Its not really any more fatal than your typical Flu other than its tendency to spread quicker.

It is dangerous, but it's not like it's going to wipe out a large amount of the population. Though if I'm lucky since it's in Ottawa now we'll have some closed schools
