I've already had swine flu, so I won't be having any shots when they're available
Mind you, I don't get shots for normal flu, either.
From my experience, it seems to be more contagious than normal flu, but the symptoms themselves are milder (normal flu leaves be exhausted just walking down stairs, I could get back up them without needing a rest when I had swine flu!).
I did have tamiflu - apparently it knocks about a day off the duration - but it also seemed to reduce the duration and severity of the cough.
It's a threat in that as it does seem to be more contagious more people will probably catch it. Which probably means more vulnerable people will also catch it than will get normal flu. But I really think it has been blown out of all proportion.
