I'm not being a chicken little here, but you do realize that a whole fukn boat load of people (like minimum of 50 million and possibly upwards of 100 M) died from this not too long ago.
Not a bad idea to take some precautions.

"Swine flu is a carefully watched type of influenza because pigs vary from most recipients, carriers and transmitters of contagious flu strains. Unlike most animals, they can contract human and avian borne influenza, recombine it and then transmit it in a new, more dangerous and more treatment-resistant form.
Flu is always being passed around the human population, but rarely has it reached threatening epidemic proportions.
The 1918 Influenza Epidemic
Called the “Spanish” influenza strain, and classified as pandemic, during 1918 and 1919 it is thought to have infected a third of the world population and caused perhaps as many as 50 million deaths, according to the U.S. Center for Disease Control, which must have been figuratively holding its breath when it admitted deaths could have been nearly double that because many who died during that period were not actually diagnosed, nor were samples taken for lab testing and identification."

In 1918, causes of human flu and its links to avian and swine influenza were not known.
