OK, what's with the panic mode?
I believe that the fear here is that the eeeevil spirit of Darwin will cause this to merge with the avian flu, turning it into a genocidal plague that wipes out the world, except for some survivors in Boulder and Vegas...
Seriously though, this flu could turn bad in the fall... right now this flu is pretty much the only game in town - so not a lot of chances to mix and match genes with other flu variants. Once fall comes around, and the other flu varieties start spreading, it could be a whole 'nother story - it could pick up more deadly traits from the avian flu - which is in circulation in egypt and south asia (but without an ability to jump person to person, thank God). That would be Bad, with a capitol B.
