I'm very much an anxious person when it comes to my health and the health of those close to me. I'm young, and don't have a lot of medical issues - so I do worry for myself, but I worry for those around me too.
Should I be worried? Can someone just spell that out for me?

Be aware and wary, sure. But at this stage, no, I wouldn't worry. Just take the precautions you can.
I fly almost every week, every year, on petri dishes with wings including flu season. I always have and use hand sanitizer liberally. Wash my hands before I eat. Just basic stuff, and I haven't gotten the flu in 15 years with no flu shot.

As soon as I see it go up every year, I'm even more vigilant.
