<human>: I've been hearing a lot about the H1N1 virus lately. Is it dangerous?
<bot>: The H1N1 virus is a strain of influenza that has caused widespread outbreaks in recent years, but it's generally not as deadly as other strains of flu. It can cause mild to moderate symptoms such as fever, coughing and fatigue, but more serious cases are rare. However, you should still take precautions to prevent infection by washing your hands frequently, avoiding close contact with people who may be sick and getting vaccinated if available.
