Try not to worry about it. Our daugther and our granddaughters live on the east coast of the U.S and they got it several months ago. Our daughter felt really bad but the children seem to do alright but it wasn't even a week and our daugther was already out doing things again.

They gave her tami flu and the kids as well. Our son in law never did get it.

There seem to be many people that get it that don't even know they have it they just think its a cold ...and they are alright. I think that the media is really up to their blood and guts standards trying to scare everyone. No need to worry . Just try and drink plenty of fluids and eat good and if you feel that you might contract it contact your GP and ask for some tami flu.
Take care.
