Hi everyone, just joined ATS to post this information. I have no idea if it is true or not - I found it via reddit. It is interesting and it may shed some light on why the CDC and WHO are taking such a concern with this virus.

Thanks for the clarification. I couldn't' tell if it was Reuters or a "Reuters Like" site.
So I can take it that any news from alertnet is just about as credible if nor more than the MSM?

Are there any big American sports events over the weekend or next week?
If they are closing schools so rapidly, then US will follow suit to Mexico and close sporting events, like they did with the football.
This will be a good test as to how TPTB will respond. If WHO announces level 6 then dig in people, it's gonna be a rough ride.
Spammers and cybercriminals are exploiting fears over swine flu to peddle counterfeit drugs and steal credit card details, internet security firms have warned.

Influenza B viruses are only known to infect humans and seals,[1] giving them influenza. This limited host range is apparently responsible for the lack of Influenza virus B caused influenza pandemics in contrast with those caused by the morphologically similar Influenza virus A as both mutate by both genetic drift and re assortment.[2][3][4]

Lets forget all about numbers here for a second.
The issue here and 'hype' as some may call it, is from the fact that this is a strain never seen before.When you have a strain never seen, you have no idea how to control it.You have no cure.You cant just go get some flu medicine and call it a day.You don't know how it works.What if it all of a sudden gets out of control.What if this type of virus sits quite and then 'explodes' into this super bug that goes airborne.You don't want this thing going airborne without having some sort of vaccine.
On a lighter note, anyone expecting 'zombies' to start running rampid through the streets every time they do a live broadcast on the streets
