Swine Flu

My daughter came home upset today because her friend at another school had to go home because a student had swine flu. It's scary stuff. She was extremely scared of catching it herself. She was asking lots of questions like, will she get it? Can she die from it? I did my best to reassure her but it's tough situation for a parent to be in. How can you explain a condition/illness when you're not sure of it yourself? Thank God! she's bounced back and not thinking about it for now.
