I bought a high-quality mask at a military surplus store last week. This was before the outbreak, and I bought it for when I change the litter box, but now I'm feeling a little smug. Even though I still haven't taken it out of the package.
Now that I think about it, maybe I should ebay it. I'm sure I can get a lot more than the $5 I paid.
Studies have proven that regular soap gets you just as clean as antibacterial soap. All the antibacterial soap does is cull the bacteria herds and make them stronger. It's more of a general lifestyle change rather than related directly to the virus formerly known as swine flu.
The news says there are 3 cases at the school down the street from my house, it makes me feel pretty ooky. Lots of hand washing. No hanging out at St. Mels. Vitamins Lots of water
Not much else to do besides hibernate until it goes away, but then there is always something.
However so far the only deaths have been the ones in Mexico. So either the strain has already mutated to something less potent by time it got out; or people in Mexico are already in an unhealthy enough environment that they can't fight it as well.

Swine flu should bring up the company's profits a fair bit.

If it starts causing people to eat brains, then you might want to be concerned. ;-)

Why avoid anti-bacterial soap? I know that flu is a virus and not bacterial but wouldn't you want the extra protection?
