Rather than sit waiting for this flu clown to miraculously leave by itself, it would be best to inform the public about the current situation and what are the measures to take.
The so called "measures" do nothing to limit the scope and speed of the spread.
Take SARS as an example, despite all the ridiculous steps Singapore took to contain the disease, it ended up being one of the countries worst affected by the virus.
3rd world countries that did nothing saw the end of the epidemic at the same time that the rest of the world did.
