I think that's because it's labeled with the name "flu" It seems that the flu is so common place, and hasn't reached the pandemic threat level ever, so when that name is associated to something that the media is flipping out over it doesn't seem like a big thing.
I read today that h1n1 doesn't have the severe genetic makeup to be highly deadly to millions of people-- it's just as deadly as the normal flu apparently. I think if the CDC wants the world population to take it seriously they should name it something like "you will poo black tar and bleed from your eyes painful death virus" -- I think with a scarier name I would take it more seriously, haha.
