Well, it isn't something that you shouldn't just forget but the media is overdoing it. Take it seriously, but don't let it make you stay down in your basement for winter! Wash your hands regularly, breathe through your nose and if you feel any flu symptoms go to the doctor and get treated but go nowhere else! People have died from it, but it's no worse than regular flu, just more contagious and it's something you do not want to have, it takes you out of action for at least a week...don't think that you're going to die, but watch out for illness and don't stress too much as this will make it easier to catch.
