It is not a very serious or severe type of flu actually.
Even if you caught it you would be sick for a week and then make a full recovery just like most other flus.
It is only fatal if you are already very sick, old, frail etc as is the case with any other flu.
Hundreds of already very old frail and sick people die of various flus every year in Australia, so this is nothing new.
I will see you taking that cavalier attitude when it happens to you.
There is a reason world is in heightened alert; it's not a flu that goes away.
