I believe it is over hyped because in 1918-1919, there was a deadly flu epidemic that killed more people than World War one and it was from pigs. This time, there is a flu that mutated from pigs, but it doesn't seem to be as deadly. I would say people who have a weak immune system or are elderly will mostly be effective, however, the best case is to just hand your hands more regularly. It is proved to be that washing your hands prevents better more ever than wearing a flu mask.
Wearing a mask is said not to do you much good anyway. Washing hands should be a givin to anyone lol

I still have Tamiflu from the bird flu scare. Wonder if it's still any good. Heard that you can get a personal dosage for $99 from Canada pharmacies. Geez, if it's not one thing, it's another.
Always a cause for concern. Remember SARS? People weren't that worried first and then the world went on lockdown when it got spread across borders.
Swine flu is worse than SARS as its victims has been 18-35 and not elderly/newborns like when the SARS hit the world in 2003.
But you guys who aren't too worried. Sure you'll eat your words when death tolls increases rapidly. It's a flu...Even I as a healthy person was caught slipping - and I blame the person I walked past on the street, the gym or in the club.
