If we get a strain that looks like it's spreading, and we start getting cases in the EU, and it has a fair chance of being fatal to an otherwise-healthy adult, my plan is to go out as little as possible (stockpiling lots of food, telecommuting to work if I can) until the outbreak ends or until an effective vaccine becomes available. Since taking public transport in the rush hour seems to be an ideal way to get yourself exposed to everyone else's germs, I'm actually pretty amazed I haven't even caught a cold so far (although I suppose it's not winter yet).
