So once again something comes along and the WHO, governments and the media have already started the "could be as bad as 1918" I can appreciate that warnings should be issued in response to the cases and unfortunate deaths in Mexico, but to state that it "could be" is jumping the gun just a little bit, especially as we are moving out of the flu season. What should be done is limited travel to and from Mexico, put medical resourses into Mexico and get it under control.
Hospitals will be overloaded by anyone with a slight cold, any symptom that appears to be a flu symptom, sore throat, nausea, headache, you know the usual symptoms that many people suffer from regularly. The economy which is already stressed will be further stressed.
Wake up people, 4000 people per year die from the flu in Canada, and tens of thousands more around the world.
