Oh yeah? WHO is saying that a pandemic could hit all continents within 3 months of a pandemic outbreak. Closing the borders is just delaying the inevitable (and no, Madagascar in Pandemic is not proof that it would work). As for your awesome health care (I'm looking at you, Canada), there's really not many treatments for influenza of any kind. Antibiotics won't work because it's a virus, antivirals work but it's about two mutations away from immunity, vaccines take forever to develop and make, and everything else is just treating the symptoms and hoping you make it.
Viruses are serious business. We're just so used to the flu that we don't take it seriously anymore.
