The key statement is 'if it mutates'...

I agree completely - it - and any other airborne human-to-human virus - could become deadly 'if it mutates'...

And we could all be in big trouble 'if a huge asteroid strikes earth tomorrow'...

The virus as it stands now does not seem to be very lethal at all... it is far far far less serious than the 1918 Spanish Flu - which the media love to draw comparisons to.

Actual number of deaths in Mexico down.
Real number of cases down.
Severity of H1N1 not so bad.

And the WHO wants to raise the threat level to 6.

What is up with that?
