Far less dangerous! Even if one life has been taken / related to this H1N1 is one to many. Just last week a young mother died, leaving a two year old, month before that another young mother died leaving a 7 year old. Try and tell these families that this is "nothing" I hope and pray that no one in your family comes down with this, for you see it is hard to move along as you stated. When we gather at Christmas and sit down with these children to try to explain again why "mommy" isn't here hopefully you will feel some of what we are going through. This isn't something that should be taken lightly. My heart goes out to all families that has lost someone to this virus. May GOD be with you all.
