Swine flu will kill everyone! ... continued to endless news paper headlines.
The fact is though, that there is no reason to panic. Outside of Mexico this virus does not seem to be fatal, and we can't therefore be sure that those who are thought to have died of it in Mexico actually did.
We also have large quantities of flu drugs, which do seem effective.
All that said, this flu outbreak is odd. Why are people dying in Mexico but nowhere else (yet)? How did it end up containing elements of swine flu from 3 continents?
My advice would be don't panic. Governments around the world, as well as health organisations are keeping an eye on this one.
The BBC has this.

It is also very important to eat right to keep your immune system strong; in order to accomplish that follow these recommendations to boost your immune system:
Increase your intake of vitamin C. Vitamin C not only boosts your immune system, but in higher dosages has been shown to be an antiviral as well. The recommendation is to dramatically increase your intake at the first sign you may have been exposed to the flu. Search for "the Vitamin C Foundation" to find an effective dosage for you.
Ensure you are getting enough vitamin E in your diet. There has been at least one clinical study completed that links adequate vitamin E intake with reduced viral activity. Studies have also shown there may be a link between vitamin E and a reduced duration and severity of flu symptoms.
