This is crazy...This flu traveled all the way from Mexico to the southern states now it reached the northern states and Canada in days
could these outbreaks cause the next pandemic?

I know but the general public will get it if not careful..Mexico city was shut down couple days ago..a city of 20 million..people weren't allowed to touch each other..that's crazy..or even touch something previous persons touched..reminds me of scars all over again..

Its dangerous and there is no vaccine for it. Serious cases usually die in about 8 days. Happens to pigs but jumped from pig to man and now it is going from man to man

At this stage only Mexicans and people who've been exposed to it in Mexico are getting it. Unless you have been exposed to someone who was exposed to it in mexico or exposed to someone who was exposed to it in mexico, which seems unlikely in this early stage.

is it not a hybrid flu, a mix of human flu, pig flu and bird flu, it is said to be air born and people can catch it in very densely populated areas(Mexico city) where the air is contaminated with human dead skin cells and what not, also you can be effected by physical contact with a carrier of the disease.
latest news say newly arrived people from Mexico in Heathrow airport were undergoing testing and are being held in camps by the police
if it turns out to be pandemic its is not a laughing matter
