Pop! Quiz: How are you protecting yourself against the swine flu?

If you've been anywhere near a TV or newspaper in the last week you've heard about the frightening spread of swine flu, which just today The World Health Organization says is closer to becoming a full-scale pandemic:

Dr. Keiji Fukuda, the organization's top flu expert, told reporters in Geneva that the latest developments are moving the agency closer to raising its pandemic alert to phase 5, indicating widespread human-to-human transmission. That's just one step below level 6, a full-fledged pandemic.

We're interested to hear your take on all of this. Are you frightened, slightly alarmed, or do you think it's been overblown? And if you are taking precautions, we'd like to know what you're doing to protect yourself, so take a look at our examples and then vote in our poll!

Are you choosing a creepy medical mask?

Or maybe soaking in sanitizer?

Or do you plan on locking yourself away til it's over?

Or do you plan on doing nothing out of the ordinary, and think they're making too much out of it? Do you live in an area that's been heavily affected? Do you think the media is going over the top? And do you think it should continue to be called swine flu, or changed to the more clinical "H1N1 virus"?
