Obviously we shouldnt all be walking around in masks, that is one extreme. You seem to be demonstrating the other extreme which is being very blase and passing it off as nothing but a normal winter cold. I for one am not condoning mass panic but I think we should all be at least aware of the potential for a pandemic.

According to Wikipedia most of the victims of the pandemic in 1918 were healthy young adults.

According to BBC the current victims in Mexico were all between 20 and 50 years old.
