Flu bug

Is anyone worried about the new flu bug? I will admit to being concerned, mostly because we are close to the Mexican boarder. But my children aren't fragile, my immunocompromised child, Jacob, is well past the age we need to worry about. I am going to start harping on my kids about hand washing and think I'll go stock up on antibacterial gel stuff. Hopefully, if we do get it, it will be mild.
