Honestly, for most healthy adults this may not be a bad flu to get as it is not that severe, and it may very well assist your immune system in defending against the next H1 mutation which may be much more severe in terms of loss of life.
I am testing our health centre staff on N95 respirators today as part of our emergency prepardeness plan...
