As you can see it has spread(by means of air travel) very fast. Now have it mutate a few times to the point were normal antibiotics are of no help and I think we will have something to worry about. But why not take a few very minor and easy precautions to help prevent the spread of it. Keeping your pax comfortable in the meantime.
I think the overriding fear is the fact that it seems to be killing people that are 20-40, which isn't normal for flu's..people who are 20-40 generally should have stronger immune systems, and normal flu strains kill children and the elderly. So the fact that most of the victims have been "young adults" is somewhat baffling to researchers.
