Enough of this alarmist nonsense already.

Ebola virus, SARS virus, swine flu and now a duck flu (again).

You can only cry wolf so many times.

You never know when its doing to be the real thing though. Better to be told when there's a possibility than to find out once a pandemic has begun that, "oh, hey guys, there's a pandemic already on the go. We could have maybe prevented it by warning people to stay away from country x when we first found out about it, but we didn't want to alarm you." Covering up an outbreak is never a good idea.
