They say to cover your nose and stuff...and wash your hands...that does nothing if you work in a building that has a ventilation system pumping air tru a building

actually, there is a line of thought that says that the second wave of swine flu could arrive in the fall and be much more virulent than the first - that this has been a pattern of past flu viruses.  I think swine flu is a concern, but since there isn't anything I can do about it one way or the other (other than get flu shots when they are available), I try not to worry about it.  The list of things I can worry about at one time is only so long...

Experts expect the flu will pick up activity in the northern hemisphere's autumn and the WHO predicted one third of the world's population -- two billion people -- will eventually be infected.

TOO WIDESPREAD

Governments are taking different approaches to slowing the spread of the virus. Last month, British experts on the spread of disease said closing schools at the first sign of a new pandemic might delay the worst so health officials can prepare, but cannot prevent the spread of the disease.

Writing in the journal Biosecurity and Bioterrorism, Courtney, Dr. D. A. Henderson and colleagues said it appears that the new H1N1 is now too widespread to try to stop.
