Swine Flu Precautions are Legitimate!

I have commented on CC19's interesting idea that the Swine flu is nothing but a government conspiracy. CC19 thinks that the government has made up the disease in order to close schools and save money. While it's certainly a creative idea, I personally think the Swine flu is a true threat. Maybe I'm just a gullible germ-a-phob, but I've definitely been washing my hands more often than necessary, and would be more than happy to miss school for a few days for precautionary measures.
