The genetic testing of the flu shows it isn't as deadly as the regular seasonal flu, there has only one confirmed death to swine flu (to someone with an underlying condition) in the US, as opposed to the 36,000 that die from the regular flu in the US each year.

I wouldn't worry tooo much, but try to eat healthy to boost your immune system and wash your hands frequently. It isn't the swine flu as much as the chance of getting pneumonia or a secondary infection that is the real worry.
