ATLANTA – Since it first emerged in April, the global swine flu epidemic has sickened more than 1 million Americans and killed about 500. It's also spread around the world, infecting tens of thousands and killing nearly 2,000.
This summer, the virus has been surprisingly tenacious in the U.S., refusing to fade away as flu viruses usually do. And health officials predict a surge of cases this fall, perhaps very soon as schools reopen.
So how worried should you be and how do you prepare? 1. No cause for panic.
2. Virus tougher on some.
3. Wash your hands often and long.
4. Get the kids vaccinated.
5. Get your shots early.
6. Immunity takes awhile.
7. Vaccines are being tested.
8. Help! Surrounded by swine flu.
If an outbreak of swine flu hits your area before you're vaccinated, be extra cautious.
9. What if you get sick?
10. No swine flu from barbecue.
