I think it's pretty clear now that this will sweep over the world. Might not kill more than the usual flu, but we already had a normal flu season so this could double the deaths.
Not to mention, this is the first strain. It can mutate very easily as all flu viruses do into a much more dangerous version since it contains human, bird, and swine variants.
The concern is not just hype, this could become a serious problem although it is not currently that bad.
