I'm sure most of you have heard of the new flu virus which is quickly spreading throughout the world and could turn into a major pandemic. There have been confirmed cases in Mexico (with more than 60 deaths), USA (Texas, California, Kansas, Ohio, New York), likely cases in New Zealand from students who came from Mexico, and now confirmed cases in Canada:

According to someone at USA's Center for Disease Control, the virus is too widespread to contain:

"It is clear that this is widespread. And that is why we have let you know that we cannot contain the spread of this virus," the CDC's Dr. Anne Schuchat told reporters on a conference call.
Do you know anyone affected? Are you worried? What will happen?
