# What's the point in closing the border if it's already spread?
As the symptoms are essentially the same as regular flu, it's tricky to identify a new strain before it's spread quite a way.
It is being hugely hyped up at the moment, but just because it's currently pretty tame doesn't mean it'll stay that way.

# This^^^^^
I would rather that people worried too much than were overtly blaise about it and it did claim more victims....

# It's a tough one.
It's good that the authorities are taking it seriously and making plans, but individuals panicking probably doesn't help much.
But if it makes people cover their mouths/noses when they cough or sneeze, then it's a good thing.
