No one knows. That is why it is a buncha BS hype. There are dangerous virii out there every day, this one is just being associated with April fools day so the media is having a field day.

All my opinion, of course.
Like Stu said, no one really knows. But when you consider how large of a botnet it is (something like 8% of all the PCs in the world) there is some reason for concern. Really it is only going to affect far out of date systems.

If I understand it correctly today was the day that it was supposedly going to start recieving messages from those that control the botnet. Again, no one really knows.
