Get Swine Flu

Swine flu is a strain of influenza; most healthy people recover fully and it follows a predictable, manageable course
The mortality rate from swine flu is substantially lower than the serious complications West Nile can cause
First-hand accounts describe swine flu as no worse than a bad seasonal cold

Get West Nile

The vast majority of West Nile cases produce no symptoms at all; most infected people never realize they have it
For healthy adults, West Nile typically resolves without any intervention and causes minimal disruption
West Nile is so often asymptomatic that there is a real chance you have already had it without ever knowing
