A majority of Americans think widespread H1N1 flu, with many getting very sick this fall or winter, is somewhat or very likely, a U.S. survey indicates.However, the survey by the Harvard Opinion Research Program at Harvard School of Public Health says even though 60 percent of those asked said they believe a serious outbreak is likely, 61 percent of Americans are not concerned that they or their family members will get sick from influenza A H1N1 in the next year.
If people had to stay home for a week to 10 days because they were sick or because they had to care for a family member, 44 percent indicate they would be likely to lose pay or income, and 25 percent reported that they would be likely to lose their job or business.
