Right now, the swine flu seems to be at the top of every one's worry list. According to CNN Health, the number of confirmed swine flu cases has almost reached 10,000.
Although there have been at least 79 deaths, swine flu has acted like a typical seasonal influenza which can usually be treated successfully but can be deadly among the very young, the very old and those with pre-existing health problems. Authorities have said this week that the outbreak may be less severe than they first suspected (CNN Health).
The number of cases may still be rising but a new poll released this morning from the CNN/Opinion Research Corporation found that only one in six Americans is worried that someone in their family will get the flu
According to the poll, 63% of those polled said they were never worried about the flu to begin with. In general, Americans worries about the flu seem to be calming. See more results here
