It's all media hype about a threat that's been there for years. Only reason it's in the news now is cus a good old US Army Lab has recreated the 1918 Spanish Flu to "study it and develop a vaccine".
"But oh by the way we'll post its genetic codes etc on the web so any nutbar in a decent lab can copy it and release it!! "
Good move. !?!?!?
Seriously though. It isn't worth worrying about. You may as well worry about the planet being hit by a giant meteor. All things you have no control over.
