Build Up Your Immune System
- I agree that the media hype is a far cry from the reality of this possible epidemic. As with any disease, you should build up your immune system by eating healthy foods, exercising and getting lots of fresh air.

Don't believe the hype
- Unless half the population catches swine flu, I'm not buying into the cable news-induced hysteria. There's a lot of misinformation already being spread about the illness, leading to a lot of unnecessary panic.
