Once again for the uninformed, it's not the severity of H1N1 influenza that is the issue.

The issue is the the number of simultaneous cases that will occur. They have the capacity to overwhelm the health system. In addition, diabetes or pregnancy can make the disease life threatening.

Wait till you get mass absenteeism at work. I would also expect that if you get this flu, you will be off work for quite a whle.
