Default H1N1. 32% of the population will be affected by this?!

Is this going to be that serious? holy crap. I've never gotten the flu shot before but should I get one? I don't want to make my 18 month old sick.

Human H1N1 flu will begin spreading substantially any day now, peak in mid- to late-October and infect 32 per cent of the population, according to a new study on the potential impact of the anticipated fall wave of the disease

Their projections are an ominous warning for Canada.
The current plan calls for vaccinations to start in early-November — one month after the anticipated peak. The researchers say H1N1 will mostly likely follow the pattern of the Asian flu pandemic in 1957-58, rising in September and peaking in October.
