^^^ just to be clear, it's the same thing as bird flu (h1n1 swine variant).
it's ALWAYS around (especially in pigs), but it's the jump to humans that causes concern (for humans).
if you truly are worried, wash yr fucking hands and take 3x recommended daily dose of zinc (to inhibit viral replication). protip: take the zinc with food to minimize nausea.
...and always remember to have a sun-shiney day.
I hope this helps.
