This is just another media-generated scare. Provided you don't live in the third-world (ie, Mexico, or Texas), it's no more severe or contagious than any other influenza.

Honestly, I don't know why everybody's panties are in a twist.
Reason: Media Panic
Cause: Need to compete with Fox News for ratings
Root cause: O'Reilly"The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

Well, people over 40 or so will remember what happened with the Swine Flu of 1976, though the vast majority of the damage was done by the vaccine they rushed through, not the flu itself.
They panicked with the vaccine because this is the flu of 1918, so it's better so say that the Bird Flu was the new Swine Flu.No, I did not steal that from somebody on Something Awful.Comment

This is the suburb where I live.Swine flu forces shutdown of Richardson school
Canyon Creek Elementary School will be closed for the rest of the week after one student tested positive for the fast-spreading illness. "The kids of that school should stay at home," said Dr. John Carlo, Dallas County health authority.
It may not be 1918, but at the very least it's a pain in the ass. Hopefully it stays a pain in the ass.
