This is no stronger than the regular flu...this entire thing has been blown WAY out of proportion by the media(I'll keep politics out of this). It does hit some people harder but there is no need for widespread panic. That's directly from friends that are nurses, doctors, NP's etc.

That is exactly why it is deadly. It often goes into pneumonia, and often young people think they have a chest cold, next thing you are in emergency trying to get all the crap pumped out of your lungs so you can breath and not die.
Its not the flu, its what it does to your body and lets anything else you might get killl you.
Just keep it in check and don't run your self down and you will be OK.
FWIW, I won't be taking a h1n1 flu shot. Just got the regular swine flu a few weeks back, thats good enough for me.
