Reply #19: And it's got what seems to be a really short incubation period [View All]

A school group in Nova Scotia - three teachers and I think 26 students - was in Mexico until about two days ago. They got back, and within a day 25 of them were showing flu symptoms.

They're all fine now (already!), which is some more of that weirdness about how mild the northern cases are, but it looks like something that's really virulent but also burns out quickly. The former's a problem, but the latter would probably help to slow the spread abroad, since it has so little time to nail people once they stop moving.
