I have to be the blunt one and step up and simply say this;
I'm not interested in theoretical mutations or mythical human senses that have only been recorded after an ancient getting stoned.
I'm interested in the facts and what we know *now*, theoretical mutations isn't going to help anything unless there's some sort of evidence to support the claim of a dangerous mutation.
While fact, viruses do mutate, none of the mutations have really threatened our civilization. The only viruses to threaten our existence have already come to pass, such as the black plague and many others that had rippled through our civilization in the past.
The H1N1 strain does (just like every other virus) have the potential to mutate but as it stands, it's less lethal than most other strands of viruses.
The reality is that a viral mutation does not have a set-date, it doesn't have an alarm clock and it surely doesn't act like a militia. The theoretical response that a viral mutation will react due to 2012 is like saying that my cat will turn into catzilla at the first strike of midnight.
It simply doesn't work that way.
If the H1N1 strain is going to mutate again it will be at a random time and most likely a random place.
Every strain of viral bacteria has the potential to mutate into something as deadly or deadlier than the black plague or anything else our species has ever seen. How ever just because it has the potential to, it doesn't mean that it will. Especially on a specific date.
Now— Where did I put my bag of M&M's? That's a true mystery. Hmm..
