It is getting really bad. scary thing is you dont hear to much about it any more. Just once in a while the will have a 15 second clip on the news on how it has killed X amount of people and X amount of people are very sick with it. I havnt worried about it in a while, my town had somthing like 20-25 confirmed cases. my region has 100's of cases.
See, the thing with H1N1, is that it's really not as bad as people think. The media makes it out to be worse then it is, because it's new. There's other things that have killed more people, that you should be more worried about, IMHO. Unless your immune system is shot, or underdeveloped, it will take care of it.
PD, see if you can get something called Cat's Claw. Excellent immune system support 
Nothing wrong with being aware, and you do live in a different environment than most of us.
A lot of people here get worried about it as well. You should have seen the panics here over bird flu and I could understand why some of the people who were freaking out were afraid -- they worked in closed in factories, or schools, or places where they had to be in close proximity to the public and the public is notorious for not caring who they infect with whatever they've got. The winter that the flu was so bad here, it seemed like ever parent who had to take a sick child to the doctor had to stop and shop for furniture first -- with the sick child I was massively grateful for the magic of Fila drool. Everyone else got sick

While this is true, there are still all sorts of illnesses to be more concerned about than H1N1. I guess it is one more to add to a list, but really it's easily treatable as long as you watch for symptoms and seek treatment when needed. I thought South Africa had a form of health care available to citizens? Said my friend who lived there almost a decade ago, but her facts are taken with a grain of salt.
