    Looking for someone to infect me...

    Since it doesn't seem like it's so bad, I think I would like to get this new H1N1 flu. It could potentially mutate into something worse during the next several months (remember, it's winter in the southern hemisphere), and maybe getting the present form may innoculate me from any worse forms in the future.

    @Gordon Wagner: I love your "SCIENCE BAD!!" attitude to all of this. You must be believing that anti-Gardasil email that's going around. Check out snopes.com to see the whole story on that. Remember, just because you pee in the morning does not mean the rising sun is squeezing your bladder.
