It's ditto for me, because I have a bit of a calm before the storm feeling right now. The primary risk seems to be if one strain latches onto this strain. Then we're hooped!
Immunity
Common sense
- precautions like handwashing, controlling spread
Vaccines
- I don't think they keep up anyway, let alone whatever stuff may be lurking in them
Wikipedia has running numbers for international cases, #s, etc. There are 2 articles, one about swine flu generally and this one about the 2009 outbreak. It's updated frequently. >>
