Looks to be picking up

The earthquakes keep coming at Yellowstone - up to a M3.5 in the last 24 hours.

Time has already put up an article wondering about whether people need worry about the swarm (there might be other things to worry about before this swarm).

YVO's statement on the earthquake swarm seems pretty standard (as it should be): "At this time the Yellowstone Volcano Observatory does not consider the swarm to be unusual and the earthquakes are likely related to tectonic fault sources.

Also there is no indication of premonitory volcanic or hydrothermal activity, but ongoing analyses will evaluate these different sources."
