How concerned are you about the swine flu?

"Not too concerned, but I do work in the Office of International Programs and Studies where they do exchange out of the country and into the country, so it makes me a little nervous with all the traveling. Until there is a confirmed case in New Mexico, I'm not too worried about it."

"I'm not that concerned about it purely because the only (person) that's died from it in the U.S. is a 20-month-old baby, and the only deaths have been in Mexico. I feel that, almost, their health care has something to do with the fact that they have had so many deaths, because it doesn't make sense to me how one virus in one place has such a different outcome on a population than in another."

"I'm not very concerned at all. I actually work in a pharmacy, and one of our really good customers is an epidemiologist, and we asked him, 'How concerned should we be?' and he told us that the only concern we should have is if it becomes more virulent.. As of now, I'm not worried as long as people practice basic hygiene like washing their hands and covering their mouth when they cough and sneeze."
