It's tough to keep a reasonable level of attention to things, I think. The initial excitement in the news may have been a little overdone (although we wouldn't be saying that if it had turned out to infect half the world), and now the lack of excitement may be giving a false sense of calm.
It's also true that the average, non-swine, flu kills quite a few people every year without generally being considered a big deal. It certainly doesn't help to panic constantly, but on the other hand it doesn't help to be unaware of health issues either.
Another example of how you have to try to balance awareness, concern, and having some attention to spare for other things in life.
