Are you still worried?

Just wondering really...

With cases dropping and the death figures lower than expected are you still worried about swine flu even though it appears to be milder than seasonal flu now?

I have to say I was very worried at the start of the summer but I have definitely calmed down now and because I don't usually worry about catching seasonal flu I've decided not to worry about this one either.

I realise that for some people ANY type of flu is dangerous so I completely understand their concern. Although I have to say I was very surprised to see the figures for the pre-existing health conditions in the statistics for the fatalities: there were 6 deaths in pregnant women in England out of 190 deaths - obviously every one of these is a tragic loss for their family but I was really expecting that figure to be much higher considering all the pressure there seems to be on pregnant women to get vaccinated. Does anyone know how that figure compares to seasonal flu?
