Mortality is mostly a factor in those who are immunosupressed or don't have a well developed immune system IE the very young and the very old. So if your grandparents or parents get ill make them go to the doctor.

I've heard that the US death is actually someone from Mexico who came into the country seeking treatment. The WHO is also now saying that the 150 or so reported dead in Mexico isn't correct and that the number is actually 7.

In Geneva, WHO flu chief Dr. Keiji Fukuda told reporters that there was no evidence the virus was slowing down, moving the agency closer to raising its pandemic alert to phase 5, indicating widespread human-to-human transmission.
But he said the health body not yet ready to move the pandemic alert level up from its current level of 4, which means the virus is being passed among people. Phase 6 — the highest in the scale — is for a full-scale pandemic.
As fear and uncertainty about the disease ricocheted around the globe, nations took all sorts of precautions, some more useful than others.
Britain closed a school after a 12-year-old girl was found to have the disease. Egypt slaughtered all its pigs and the central African nation of Gabon became the latest nation to ban pork imports, despite assurances that swine flu was not related to eating pork.
Cuba eased its flight ban, deciding just to block flights coming in from Mexico. And Asian nations greeted returning airport travelers with teams of medical workers and carts of disinfectants, eager to keep swine flu from infecting their continent.
In Mexico City, the epicenter of the epidemic, the mayor said Wednesday the outbreak seemed to be stabilizing and he was considering easing the citywide shutdown that closed schools, restaurants, concert halls and sports arenas.

Yes, there is a ban on athletics.

It's called keeping in touch with the news.
Edit:
Not exactly a ban, just a postponing. And it's coming from Texas officials, so maybe your mom hasn't gotten the news yet.

The regular flu kills over 36000 people a year, so Im pretty sure this is no 'Black Plague'

Bugger.
The authorities have acted quickly to contain it, even closing the school involved for 11 days, so hopefully it won't spread.

aww poor Yoko, you can always put up a picture of you dressing girly here XD
My mother also decided to at least take some action, she takes care of children for the government and shes been keeping the parents aware giving them a list of symptoms, and if that they show any that the kids should not be brought to the daycare for two weeks

Edit - And at least other than in Mexico, all other swine flu cases appear to be mild, and so far not fatal.

And it's finally come to the Bay Area. Eh. Overall, still not too worried.
(Imagines Shauna with her already questionable health trying that with Swine Flu... ) I think a simple shotgun would put less strain on you.
