I have a friend in NOVA who had it a couple of months ago. Big, healthy guy and it caused him all kinds of problems. He wound up in ICU at Georgetown for about two weeks. He is still recovering. He dropped a lot of weight and found out that he developed diabetes sometime during his ordeal with H1N1.

Then again, like UTVols2 said, it can pass just like the regular flu. I know of two or three people who got it and got rid of it like that. It's running through the NOVA-DC-Maryland Beltway area pretty fierce now. My friends who live there keep sending me news stories about it. It kind of makes me a little nervous about going up there to see them.
