Apart from a couple of YouTube songs, stories of this seemed to have died down until now.

Apparently 44 cases have been reported in Welford Primary in Handsworth, Birmingham.

Anyone worried or not thinking much of it?

It'll either wipe us out or it won't, probably more cases of common style flu anywho.
Mostly just the use of buzz words like "pandemic" and such like that stirs people up :D

If it gets too big here I'll go on holiday to Mexico.

Apparently you get a free holiday back there if you catch it there.
