Here in Birmingham it is pretty bad but the thing is the medical people seem to be diagnosing it very haphazardly with no real medical tests.

My wife's nephew, aged 7, had it last week and now my mother-in-law, in her 60's with medical issues, has been diagnosed with it and they recovered/are recovering fine.

Even in if you were to catch it it is not so bad in 99.9% cases...
