Not at all concerned..
could you expain why you are not concerned?
Not at all
I am a nurse and I am not that concerned.
Not at all worried,cant worry about something I don't have yet,I'll worry when and if the time comes.
You know from the very beginning this was not a concern to me. To close schools I believe is overkill when this was showing much milder presentation here, and no moore transmission than par Influenza A. What I have been saying all along is that if this keeps circulating this summer and starts infecting people in the fall we could be in trouble. It might pick up steam but it is so far sensitive to Tamiflu and Relenza, so no need to panic.

That being said, masks when appropriate (anyone who is sneezing/coughing, or is vulnerable), education (coughing into shoulder not the hand) hand sanitizers, etc. would have served these communities better.

I personally believe it was a distraction to confirm Sibillious (sp?) as the HHS Secretary. Typical Obama smokescreen.
No more concerned than I am about the regular flu, which by the way killed over 30,000 last year in U.S.
The worrying thing is that we don't know what started is. Is a man-made or not. After all some people have died from it.
Yes I'm concerned but no more than I am with regular flu, childhood disease, cancer, aids, std's etc...
