Most people who have died from the Swine Flu were young babies and elderly people. It affects people the most with weak immune systems. Although this sounds more serious because it is a new pandemic, it doesn't kill anymore than the normal flu. Thousands of people a year die all over the world from the regular flu. Its a new form of flu but not anymore serious. It's rare to die from the flu. It really depends on bad health and age. As long as you're healthy and your immune system is up to par, you have nothing to worry about. Extra precautions to take are the same as preventing influenza. wash your hands on a daily basis, mainly before eating. Don't stick your fingers in your eyes, mouth or nose unless you know they are clean. Don't hang around anyone who may have it. Wash your hands after leaving public areas such as shopping marts or other busy places that are likely to be swarmming with germs.

Yes, they do. This is because the immune system can find the swine flu viruses in your body and inactivate ("kill") them and will then remember how it did that so if you were to ever get exposed to swine flu after that, your body would already know how to fight it.
