This H1n1 flu strain has been around for a while without mutating into anything special. It has shown no greater than normal virulence and so far has a very high survival rate. In fact until this era of crying wolf at everything, they didn't even build a vaccine for it. I don't recommend getting the flu to test, but normal precautions should minimize the spread.

The only danger I see is that our government is trying to create another crisis and another attempt at a power grab. The headlines blare, "Prepare to Get Sick", but the article says it isn't likely unless the virus mutates and they claim to have no evidence that this is the year.
