Well, statistically, not from swine flu we're not
"28,000 cases globally and 141 deaths"

giving it a fatality rate of 0.5%. "normal" flu is 2-3%. So H1N1 is actually 4 times less dangerous than "normal" winter flu. Of which we have at least one pandemic every year, usually 2 or 3.

Well this is it. The clue's in the name, it's 'flu. It's not ebola.
People die of common 'flu all the time, and no-one's panicking about that.

Also, a healthy dose of beating
to anyone else who goes "ah, yeah, but Spanish Flu, that killed loads and loads, it could be like that"

except 99+% of the victims of Spanish Flu didn't die of flu. It's only a minor point.
