How dreadful is H1N1 virus?

I really don't think this is as bad as it first seemed initially. I live in London and they are saying that the numbers of people contracting this disease are starting to decrease now so this can only be a good thing. It's always best to err on the side of caution though as they say! Hopefully this thing will eventually die out altogether. Andrew

to be honest i am a little freaked out about it. i know that canada is making the vaccine and now has more than enough for the population should they choose to be immunized against it. see the problem with the flu, any kind of flu is that the moment it is passed on it mutates a little. so this means that you cannot really truly be safe after you have been vaccinated in my opinion. unless the vaccine is not really target specific and is somewhat generalized. this flu could also be the result of an experiment gone wrong and all along this could have been the end game, to see how the world in general reacts to an epidemic that is global. this might have been created as some kind of biological weapon and is being tested. or it could genuinely have been a legit experiment that went awry as these things usually do. some would say that i am being paranoid, but is there really anything to disprove what i am saying? i mean anything is possible right. i have chosen not to take the vaccine and take my chances and should i get the infection then i will just rely on my body to fight it off and nothing more. i do not like the idea of deliberately introducing a virus like that into my system.
