I too find the entire thing fascinating. I have been interested in epidemiology and public health for a long time, so I'm curious to see 1) how this spreads, and 2) how our public health system reacts to it.
I'm not worried yet, though the fact that young people are coming down with this illness is a concern. The CDC does good work, and we're a lot more prepared for a flu pandemic now than we were in 1918, obviously. However, one thing we do have to consider is just how quickly this can move around the globe in these days of international travel.
