They are starting to quarantine people at airports now and take their temps to keep it from getting out even more since France and New Zealand have had cases.
It's funny you should mention the Spanish flu and Twilight because in about three articles I read yesterday it compared it to the SF, mostly because it kills young adults. Man I loved Twilight, it's like a history lesson and a guilty pleasure wrapped up in a few hundred pages of bliss. lol.

I would question any source that you see that says that it is MOSTLY killing HEALTHY people between 20-40. That's just not logical for any virus. I'm not saying that in underdeveloped countries that healthy young adults haven't died but I highly doubt that it is taking the healthy age group MORE than the others. Perhaps it is claiming more healthy people than typical but I can't see it being more than people who are already compromised from a health aspect.
BTW, The federal government just issued a "public health emergency" over 20 confirmed U.S. cases...I don't believe there has been ANY deaths in the states. Of course I have no problem with being pro-active...
I'm just more coserned about this being over hyped by the government again at this point. Perhaps I'm being paranoid to suspect the gov would have reasons to want to scare the public intentionally, I dunno
My worry is not for me personally. I am conserned for family members who aren't as healthy...
I wonder if "marshal law" is coming
