On a positive note from the information I have aquired, this strain of flu virus (H1N1) responds to several available Anti Viral drugs, if prescribed early, unlike the bird flu virus (H5N1) which does not respond to them that well.
Therefore there should be a load of Antivirals such as Tamiflu stockpiled worldwide, as it was made ready in case of a bird flu epidemic a couple of years ago.
Hopefully Airlines should have good access to it as part of a contigency planning.
It may be worth checking with your company to see what they are going to do in case the whole thing blows up.
Lets hope we don't need it this time anyway.
