I really don't think it's anything to worry about.

For one, it is just a flu. The only reason anyone is even worried about it is because it's a mutation of the flu, so nobody's immune to it. So until people get sick, no one really knows what's going to happen. But it looks like it's gotten weaker from spreading person to person than it was when it was spreading from pigs to people in Mexico. So it really is alot like getting the flu (which a lot of people do die from every year already)
Also, I heard a doctor on the news about a week ago saying in the next 5 days A LOT of people are going to get sick or the virus is going to slow down and eventually start dying out. I agree with him. And since it been 5 days and doesn't seem to be getting worse, I think by July most people will have forgotten it.
Not that I'm lessening the severity of it to some people. ^^"
My mom lives in Mexico City, so I'm pretty worried myself about it where it's more serious. But I think it is getting better ^^
