To my teacher, it's not a big deal. She says, only one person died from the swine flu in the U.S., BUT, that person was actually someone (I think it was a child) someone from Mexico, NOT a US citizen. And a child has a bad immune system. Washing your hands would probably be good way to stop.

Also, that antibacterial stuff (the Clorox wipes, Febreze, etc.) is actually a waste of money, according to this one article we read in my biology class. There is practically no way to get rid of ALL bacteria and germs from your house. If you try, you may have obsessive-conpulsive disorder. And, most bacteria is harmless, and some your body can fight off. The only reason you should keep your house bacteria free is if you have a toddler or an elderly person that is sick, since their immune system is not on the good side.
