Even that's very optimistic, though, given how easily influenza spreads from person to person. Once it reaches an urban environment in any country, your ability to contain it is pretty much nil. But your other point that countries need to beef up their public health capabilities around the world - definitely. We as a global community are only as strong as our weakest link...
...will this virus do compared to the others out there? That's an important question. Will it be mutating, in terms of its resistance? Right now the virus can be treated with Tamiflu and Relenza, and we want to make sure it stays that way or we want to know if it changes. And as the virus changes, we want to make sure we have a handle on it, and whether the vaccine we would want to produce would be effective if this strain potentially comes back next fall...
...used to be that a lock was enough to keep people calm; now paranoia dictates that every house be outfitted with cameras and sensors, wires under the floors, and reinforced panic rooms.

OMG MY LIFE IS SO DIFFICULT!! FML!!), and of course, FlyBy's favorite—recounting highly storied anecdotes from their time as a precocious child budding with Ivy League potential ("Alfonso was always the first to finish coloring...
...hundreds of black holes present in its outer regions, which were created when early galaxies combined to create the Milky Way. The merge formed a massive black hole in the center and hundreds of smaller wandering black holes on the periphery of the galaxy. “We now know that every galaxy has a black hole at its center and that galaxies merge,” Loeb said. “The Milky Way galaxy was made out of building blocks of dwarf galaxies, which came together.” General relativity calculations give evidence for the existence...
