Maggy this flu is acting differently than any other flu. Its the fastest spreading pandemic in a long long time. Its spreading during summer which is also rare. The flu virus can mutate and become worse very easily and the vaccine will not be ready before the weather turns and its possibly resurges. The resurge may not happen as it may not go anywhere.
I think apathy could be our downfall maybe not with this flu but if Birdflu mutates and passes between humans we could have very serious consequences of our apathy.
I am worried about where this flu could go . Its not ruining my life but I am concerned about the winter. If the danger wasnt real do you think the government would not have spent so much time and money into putting in place what they have done?

Seasonal flu is not a pandemic and it tends not to be a new strain this is a new strain so there is no inherited immunity
