I have a compromised respiratory system (asthma since I was a wee lad) so when things like this make their way around, I get a little nervous. But, again, ditto every flu season. I always get my shot(s), wash my hands a lot, try to avoid sick people.
Got sick as hell, though, last couple of weeks, but I don't think I know a single person in my sphere of conversation (family/contact and via email/text) who has not gotten sick in the last month. (I'm in Central AR, just outside of Little Rock.) People I know just about everywhere have been sick this season.
Again, as pointed out, there's a pretty big death toll from one strain or another of influenza every year. It always pays to be vigilant, get your shots and, as everyone keeps saying, wash your goddamned hands.
