Everything is open like normal now.

Swine flu turned out to be a total dud - way less dangerous and way less contagious than the regular flu.

Over 13,000 people have died so far this year from the regular old seasonal flu in the USA vs. 2 people from swine flu. You have a better chance of being struck by lightning than dying from swine flu.

333 times more chance of contracting swine flu in Utah than in Cancun, where there are 2 cases in a city of 600,000 people.

Almost double the cases in the USA than Mexico now, but doesn't really matter since it's not even as big of a deal as the regular old flu bug. That's why they're not closing schools anymore and why they don't even talk about it on the news anymore.
