Our daughter was in the NICU for 12 days in July and the nurses and doctors in there were taking H1N1 VERY seriously. I honestly wasn't that worried about it until I saw how seriously the "professionals" are reacting to it.
So... I don't really think it's "hysteria". It is something to be concerned about for sure. And since the major preventative measure is washing your hands more often... seems like an easy step to take to be a little more cautious this flu season.
