“Concern” is the key word here. Keeping a wary eye on a possible threat is wise.

But I’m seeing too many people down-right scared silly about this. Concern is healthy. Panic is not.

I'm of the keep-an-eye-on-this camp. But here at FR, I don't see ANYONE "panicking" about this flu.

I do see far too much of the opposite error: "Har har har!", "There's no way I'll ever take a vaccine" and "This has been a total sham from the very beginning."

The CDC is doing what they are supposed to do. My recommendation would be avoiding the 24 hour news channels.
