news headlines here in Spain now...3 detained in madrid airport returning from Mexico with flu like symptoms...now its a 2 continent epidemic....as they say here in Spain "QUE GUAY" (which means "brilliant"...meant sarcastically)
A plane is the best place to spread a viral infections, people in close proximity in a closed environment. They could have easily contracted the virus without showing immediate symptoms upon arriving in the airport. They could pass through the immigration and spread the virus among the populous. I can see this spreading

I am primarily very worried because my son has a immune defiency that limits his ability to combat even the most common of virus'. I've almost lost hime twice to Pneumonia and a Bronchitis we call Mono here in NB.
And since this is an ever mutating virus, or has the capacity to do so very easily, I am afraid that it might jump to something far more sinister and not have the proper medications to help him fight it off.
If any of these things reach NB I'm going to have to quaranteen the poor child.

Two people have been admitted to a Scottish hospital after returning from Mexico, where more than 80 people have died after contracting swine flu.
..
Ms Sturgeon said there was "no immediate threat to public health in Scotland".
..
Ms Sturgeon said: "The World Health Organisation (WHO) has said UK planning for a flu pandemic is among the most advanced in the world but we cannot afford to be complacent.
"The Scottish Government takes the threat of a flu pandemic very seriously and have been working with local responders for a number of years to ensure that Scotland is in the best possible position to manage an emergency on such a scale.
"The H1N1 swine fever virus is sensitive to the antiviral drugs Tamiflu and Relenza. We have significant stockpiles for Scotland."
The WHO has warned that the new strain of the swine flu virus that has killed 81 people in Mexico could become a global pandemic.

Calderon said more than 900 people had been declared healthy and nearly 400 others with flu-like symptoms were in hospitals being checked.

Two thirds were declared healthy. How will the remaining third fare?

If two thirds have been cleared and there is no antibody how did that happen?
Or if the y are getting a false positives, they have just sent out carriers.
If we believe what we have heard so far there is no way there is already a cure for it based on the fact that it is a mixture of more than three virus.
H1N1 has some kind of a cure?
H5N1 has a cure?
My understanding is the "bird flu" that has been around for about three years does not have a cure for human patients.
